I think a good indicator here is that EDF, after several years of partial privatisation, became an essentially (92%) state owned company again - partly because they've lost €19bln when it suffered nuclear power plant outages along with scheduled maintenance.

France doesn't really seem to have a plan for when their current fleet of nuclear reactors reaches decommissioning age. There's no schedule for replacing them, much less expanding generation capacity.
