I was thinking about the French who will do the brain work. They have no practicla experience from the nuclear Barracuda in service, but already do a new theoretical design based on this brandnew and I think still not commissioned boat. That is what I call "leaving one step out". This is one of the two main reasons why I predict a steep climb of costs. The other reaosn of course is that such projects always systematically get nice-washed andf glossed over when costs get projected.


Lets bet. I say the total program in the end will cost 70% more than they now say. Minimum. We meet again in 2050 and then see who gets the pot.
