Line 31: (Artioli et al., 2008)) strange double parentheses

Line 59: The [n]one is little strange: is it “one” or “none” in the reference?

Line 66: USD 10 billion dollar: one “dollar” can be omitted.

Line 68: please add (1995) to Rubbia et al.

Figure caption of Figure 2. “roadmap” instead of “Roadmap”

Line 113: Is TEF-T separated like that?

Line 147: “weapon laboratories” instead of “weapons laboratories”?

Line 175: does not Council Regulation (Euratom) 2025/1304 require also a reference/citation?

Line 194: BN-800 and VVER.1200 should be explained.

Line 268 ff: For Houben et al. (2025) page references are frequently given – for all other references not. I think, you can omit that in case of Houben et al. (2025) as well.

Figure caption of Figure 3: Better “The graph ends” instead of “The figure ends”.
