I am not an expert but I remember reading 20~ years ago that France built its nuclear plants to a standardized specification so that many spare parts and procedures are easily transferable from one plant to the next. This is the opposite of the United States, where competing companies built completely different types of nuclear plants with completely different maintenance/safety schedules, parts, etc. In short if you're trained to do a job at a particular plant, few of those skills are easily transferable to another. This, obviously, increases its cost.

On the other hand they say street lighting is bad for animals at night, in particular birds. So it's better to turn off the lights at night for the animals.

Migrating birds and flying insects already face my problems. I doubt that artificial lighting is a particularly big problem when many die from exposure to farming chemicals.

Rue Saint-Dominique? Ah bon... I don't even know whether I've ever set any toe in that street. Maybe, but I didn't pay attention.
