      New plants are way to expensive. It’s non longer economical to build those.

      It was never economical. Nuclear power was heavily subsidised for other reasons than electricity generation. Any country that runs a sizable nuclear industry for power generation does have the capability to develop a nuclear weapons programme in relatively short order. (Usually a matter of months)

      It’s basically nuclear deterrent light.

        This is false. Sweden does not have a nuclear programme and does have a sizeable nuclear energy sector.

      What?

      Was that so hard? Backing out of the exit = planning new fission plants now - that would be bad. As you seem to agree in 2.

      I said that because she’s a corrupt monster who is likely to come up with a “hey, let’s build more nuclear power plants” next.
