    You're talking about maintenance for solar and wind when a nuclear power station requires a full time operations and maintenance crew for every day of it's operating life ???

    That's funny .

    Lifespan is better for nuclear ? You wish . Take away the 24/7/365 operations and maintenance crew and see how long they run for .

    Plenty of concrete and steel structures around the place that have been standing for over a century. Plenty of offshore structures that have been standing for over 50 years .

    Why is it cheaper and easier to service a nuclear plant than a wind turbine ?

    Nuclear plants require specialized skills and very strict security . They are highly regulated sites. See how you go trying to visit a nuclear plant sometime.

    Meanwhile windfarms have regular open days and tours . No security required. And they are built on working farms .
