Nope.
Hydrogen is the future, not nuclear.
Most countries are closing stations not opening them.
You're comparing apples with steering wheels.
Nuclear is a generating capability. Hydrogen is a storage capability.
The physics and engineering reality of this are clear, nuclear is by far the cheapest, fastest and lowest risk way of both converting our existing electricity network to net zero and electrifying the rest of the energy economy. Don't forget, you need to convert all transport, manufacturing, etc to zero emissions.
Hydrogen would be part of that picture but as a storage, not generation medium.
I'm not convinced we can get there with renewables at all.
The enormous cost and delays in building nuclear plants are almost entirely based in idiotic regulatory regimes that ignore the scientific reality of nuclear. Radon gas is orders of magnitude more dangerous from a radiation point of view.
The fact that Moneypoint was built as a result of the cancellation of Carnsore Point is a cracking illustration of ignorance of the dangers of radiation.
The only situation where nuclear power plants spew radiation into the air are when they go on fire. This is an exceedingly rare situation, it's an INES event of 4 or above:
en.wikipedia.org
So far in 70 years there have been:
2 Level 7 events
1 Level 6 event
4 Level 5 events
13 Level 4 events, 5 of which were Sellafield.
On the other hand, coal plants send large volumes of radioactive particles into the air every single day, where should they be nuclear power plants, they would be ranked as at least Level 5 incidents every single day.
Ireland chose guaranteed radiation leakages with airborne radiative particles and large irradiated waste heaps instead of highly unlikely radiation leakages.
And then there's the question of how much radiation is dangerous.
I really think the restrictions around nuclear should be massively reduced. It's the fastest, cheapest and easiest way of achieving Net Zero
*It's worth looking at what is ranked in the top global nuclear incidents globally, e.g.:
Severe corrosion of reactor vessel head forces 24-month outage of
Davis-Besse reactor
Balance-of-plant equipment malfunction forces shutdown and extensive repairs at
Crystal River Unit
