The problems with nuclear in the UK are:
- different designs were used for each station instead of (cheaper) uniformity
- interest rates rose, making it harder to get a return on any large construction work
- we still don't have fast reactors and a closed fuel cycle (so Plute is not a valuable product)
- some silly engineering failures have kept down power output
- and the new generation of stations we should have had in the 1990s has not been built (except Sizewell C)
- plus it appears supervision of reprocessing plant needs to be tighter
