So it may not be the standardisation as the main reason for Frances clean grid with affordable power(even if not perfect with "should be costs" this kind of grid and prices are gold standard and envy from current European perspective for most of the old continent).
Another (lost) skill is to build so fast without making too many of mistakes. How to deal with NIMBYism, red tapes, litigations. Can it be done without strong federal government in face of some kind of energy/climate crisis? Support for NP in Poland is as high as reasonably it can be, yet site choice process, vendors decisions, contracts and starting to pour any concrete goes dissapointingly slow. Fear of cost is high at the same time and for good reasons(US NRC is the "gold standard" so there would be one hypothesis to explain it...).
Something interesting for NPP in France(for me at least) is the metastasis of German antinuclear lunacy. France clearly forgot about own success and flirted with poison of shutdowns (SuperPheanix and PWR loss). I remember watching France24 as a breakfast TV in 2010s. It was clearly better in reporting international news than for example BBC(judging by reports from Poland that I could compare with own understanding), but it felt that environmental programs ("Back to earth") used to praise "Green Germany and energiewende" like it would have been the only example to follow. They clearly forgot to invest in (objective in that case) education about own achievements during the time when trying to export own NPP industry.
