I wonder if that graph have taken into consideration the recent German life extension option, or the Swedish decission last year to allow replacement of existing reactors. Or is it just a prognosis of what will happen if the existing reactors are allowed to serve out without any reaction what so ever.
It does only show that we are approaching the expected lifespan of many of the reactors built in the 60'ies and 70'ies. This is a known problem and a prime reason why the nuclear issue is gradually comming back on the agenda. Alternatives? You think politicans wouldn't jump on any realistic alternative rather than having to bring up the uranium ghost from the past?
