        In some countries the CIA has to send undercover assets to sabotage nuclear power projects. In Germany they just sign them up to be Die Grünen / Linke reps.

        fossil fuel industry spent decades pouring a bunch of money into “environmental” opposition to nuclear power and I’m sure they consider it well-spent

          Hinckley C, Bradwell B, and I think Sizemore C were the most high profile nuclear projects with big Chinese investment and collaboration, although most also included France’s EDF energy. The projects started in the 2000s but most didn’t start building until the 2010s when the shift away from China happened. I’m sure there’s dozens of articles online, it was fair big ongoing British business / infrastructure news for a number of years.
