I don't have to imagine it, none of those things are relevant in China, they've discovered a different problem - the economics don't work and so China’s losing its taste for nuclear power. That’s bad news.

What about once you factor in the long-term economic costs of climate change? If that was truly factored into the cost of producing electricity, I suspect nuclear would come out well ahead.

Or perhaps China would build more wind and solar instead. China generates more electricity from both wind and solar than nuclear, and the annual installation rates continue to increase.
