A few years ago, I was visiting one of our offices and bumped into two guys I last worked with 10 years ago in China. One had been the site director and the other the project director for the conventional island of a nuclear power plant. It was our last job there as we had entered into a technology transfer deal. Giving away the know how. It didn't matter as we would have a new generation to sell against what the Chinese could do with our old tech. Except we stopped development.
Back to the two old guys. a good chin wag and they told me that they had been brought back out of retirement. As they had the most up to date knowledge of building nuclear power plants. Not surprising, my last UK work was on Sizewell. Since then 3 in China with 660MW turbines. There is a real lack of nuclear power expertese outside of France where we scaled up to 10000MW
