  • The government plans four large-scale reactors - with installed capacity of around 5,000 MW - or the equivalent in small, modular reactors (SMRs). Half of those should be on-stream by 2035.

    Officials did not say how much the new programme would cost or how this would be shared among consumers.

    State-owned Vattenfall has the most advanced plans for new reactors but has said it will not take an investment decision until the end of the decade.

    So they don’t know any details yet on what they want to build or how they want to pay for it but somehow want to build them twice as fast as optimistic estimates based on existing projects in other countries? Four times if you count that “end of the decade” statement as the earliest start.










  • Actually complex distributed software projects (like online games where massive player bases all interact directly) have a better reason than most of the things you named to force updates to new versions, maintaining every interaction of every version with every other version would be a combinatorial explosion that is just not manageable, the complex interactions that occur when everyone is using the latest version barely are.
