Due to weather conditions and in order to comply with emission regulations and environmental protection measures, Reactor No. 2 at the Golfech nuclear power plant on the Garonne River, Reactor No. 3 at the Bouzies nuclear power plant on the Rhône River, and Reactor No. 2 at the Sho nuclear power plant on the Mese River have been shut down. It is noted that reactor capacity has been reduced at the Saint-Alban, Blaye, Bouzies, Sho, and Tricastin nuclear power plants.
Consensus
- France temporarily stopped three nuclear reactors due to extreme heat.
- EDF reduced the power output of eight additional reactors in response to high river water temperatures.
- Environmental regulations require EDF to reduce reactor power when river temperatures exceed certain thresholds to protect ecosystems.
- High temperatures in France reached 40 degrees Celsius, contributing to the decision.
Points of divergence
- EDF stopped three nuclear reactors and reduced power at eight others. — tg_rian_ru
- Reactors №2 at Fessenheim, №3 at Bugey, and №2 at Chooz were shut down; power was reduced at Saint-Alban, Blayes, Bugey, Chooz, and Tricasten. — vesti
