#1 Nuclear power supplies 70% of France’s requirements yet half their plants are offline. Coincidentally Russia supplies 20% of their nuclear fuel. Shaping up to be “interesting times”

#2 or due to unexpected problems such as corrosion.

I wonder if this is neutron corrosion or just plain vanilla corrosion?

#5 I think it would be good to check at this point what the terms are of Hillary’s uranium deal is. Possibly seizing our uranium back might make more sense than collecting yachts and soccer teams.

#8 US and EU pressure on Norway to increase gas production is having labor issues at this time. Strike perhaps in two weeks for pay increases because of inflation. Then this "To make matters worse, news of two gas leaks at its Sleipner complex in the Norwegian North Sea has been reported. Owing to the leaks, Equinor (Energy Company) shut the giant production complex down, reducing Norway’s natural gas output just as it is trying to ramp up to meet European demand. Processes are reportedly expected to be normalised in a couple of days but the difficulties in repairing critical infrastructure could take months".
