Russia hopes to benefit from growth expected in the sector: the World Nuclear Association says 173 new reactors are planned from now to 2030, while 65 are currently under construction, mainly in developing countries.

From the politicians who don't understand it to the engineers who fail to calculate the full life costs of waste disposal, security and decommissioning.
Enough of the vanity projects.

Because those idiots didn't get enough radiation in 1986...

At least the Russiand won't have the Israeli Mossad running security at their power stations like Japan does, along with other countries also. Guess the old Stuxnet computer virus won't be able to damage the reactors.
