Age of Nuclear Stations:

Compare this to 2009 and it can be seen that some are being decommissioned but the glut at 28 years old are still running (maybe a few bankruptcies in a few years time??!):


Perhaps shown clearer here:


It seems that decommissioning starts at about 33 years but presumably life cannot safely be extended much beyond 40 years.

Just how good is their availability:


Cetainly better than Wind but still not good at 78%
