[00:00:39]Furthermore, the actual decommissioning of these facilities takes 60 years or more.

[00:00:45]The transition is not an on-off switch, but a multi-decade industrial project.

[00:00:51]Which sector do you think would collapse first? Transport, hospitals, or industry? Drop your answer below.
