Its insane to shut down something liek 20% of the nations power supply that is zero carbon.
The current generation has its problems but shutting down before end of life is a absolutely insane idea in every possible way.
You can't magically replace 20% of the nations energy production with GenIV reactors. That not how technology works.
GenIV reactors are great and the companies building them will hopefully do it in the 2020 but to even then, the focus should be on replacing coal not existing nuclear.
