While they did well environmental to produce this and even from a cost to consumer, there are many hidden costs to the power produced which will test France in the coming years as their fleet of reactors and the coming debt-to-gdp crisis means the tens of billions required to overhaul it might be tough to subsidize.

debt-to-gdp crisis
is not an actual crisis, money on those political levels doesn't work the same way as it would for households.
id suggest Fiji, New Zealand, New Guinea, Cambodia and many dozen other countries will have much lower emissions. in their Navy.
lowest-carbon
Ok, now do nuclear waste.
You are talking about input materials for reactor fuel. We are told almost daily about how bad climate change is; why would new fuel inputs be anything notable as nuclear power de-carbonizes the grid?
I didn't check, does it say that waste management is not included?
Too bad this also slows down their renewable energy projects, which would make it cheaper. But Nuclear Reactors + renewables is a bad combination. Nuclear Reactors can't be adjusted to renewable energy, because you can't just shut them down when the renewables producing lots of cheap energy. Nuclear Plants always have to keep running, which is also expensive.
Unfortunately, thanks to the anti-nuclear lobby, we are in a situation where the current reactors will have to be shutdown before the new ones are available to take their place.
Because it only replaces a environmental disaster with a future one. Still no (practical) way to handle the waste.
