Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hearing "not particularly prone to faults" in context of a nuclear powerplant isn't exactly comforting :D

Well, no faults that would be dangerous.
Olkiluoto 3 specifically though is basically a glorified prototype and has had many issues with the massive turbines. Last time they said they've installed the last spare and had no timeline when the next would arrive, as it's a unique part for this reactor only with leadtimes in months. If it breaks again, who knows when it will be able to start back up.

No more than any other is fine with me.
