TFA gives this hint, but doesn't go into detail:

> Yet, the long-winded process of shutting down the country’s nuclear plants may have already progressed too far to be able to stop it, the operators of the plants have warned.

I'd also like to know.



I’d expect it’s mostly a financial and personnel issue.

People have been laid off, refueling operations haven’t been planned, multi billion dollar contracts for cleanup are set to start with the associated workers/staffing already underway.

In short, nothing that can’t be changed with an injection of capital and assistance from the French/international nuclear industry.
