It's a matter of deciding what proportion of generation should be nuclear. I think you should aim to keep it at about 20 percent as at present. There are I think 104 reactor units now, and many of these must be due to retire over the next 15-20 years, so just to replace the old ones you are going to need perhaps 5 a year over a 20 year period.
