Naa my post was being conservative. Decommissioning a reactor requires a motsa of cash, so they keep them going longer than they probably should. Before any approval is given now, countries must have a shut down plan.

The IAEA sees increasing work over the coming decades for decommissioing and associated waste management programmes. Many of the world's 442 nuclear power reactors currently in operation will phase out of service, while new reactors to be commissioned will need plans to fund their decommissioning. A total of 189 power reactors have been shut down for decommissioning, with 17 of them fully decommissioned. In addition, 130 fuel cycle facilities have been decommissioned as well as about 440 research reactors.https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/iaea-advances-project-to-address-challenges-facing-global-nuclear-decommissioning-efforts#:~:text=Many%20of%20the%20world%27s%20442%20nuclear%20power%20reactors,for%20decommissioning%2C%20with%2017%20of%20them%20fully%20decommissioned.

So why is China building 21new nuclear power generators plus countless coal fired power generators?

Are they making a massive error? Are they crazy?
