    Both are planned to be decommisioned in 2025.

    My point exactly. They have planned decommissioned dates because they cannot be serviced and maintained safely forever.

    Unlike other mechanical devices/engines it can’t be serviced because of the radiation involved.

    If reactors were unservicable, then there would be no need in NPP personel.

    I disagree. During the lifetime operation of a plant they need personnel, it’s not an All or Nothing thing. They don’t just turn off the lights and shut the door and all walk out.

    Hell, even after a plant starts it’s decommission plan, which can take 10 to 20 years, they still need personnel.
