Height above sea ?
editHow high above sea-level are the reactors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.55.165 (talk) 21:39, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- According to this ref it is to be built 14 meters above sea level and located slightly inland, with a 900 meter long seawall that will be 13.5 meters tall.
Length and listing
editRather a lot of the early part of the article isn't really about the reactor or the establishment, the power station, or even about its particular situation.
It could be summarised as "various objections did not prevent the project proceeding".
The detailed list of them is not so much encyclopaedic as boring. Midgley (talk) 00:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
EDF reliability
editAre EDF statements supposed to be included in the article as purely factual, (i.e. "said" or "announced", rather than "claimed"), considering they are not a reliable secondary source but have an obvious direct interest in the project? Especially when it comes to justification for cost increases or delays. — jonas (talk) 13:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- They should be attributed: WP:ATTRIBUTE, "EDF stated that X is true" rather than "X is true". See also WP:CLAIM; this way we aren't saying something is true in WP:WIKIVOICE, only that EDF said it. ---Avatar317(talk) 03:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
