Unfortunately, thanks to the anti-nuclear lobby, we are in a situation where the current reactors will have to be shutdown before the new ones are available to take their place.
Because it only replaces a environmental disaster with a future one. Still no (practical) way to handle the waste.
Buddy, French reactors have been breeders for decades. They re-use the spent fuel.
