Europe's #heatwave curbs French #NuclearPlants
By Forrest Crellin and Hugo Lhomedet
June 24, 2026"The heat has reduced output at the #SaintAlban2 and #Bugey 3 reactors on the Rhone river in eastern France, and the #Nogent2 reactor on the Seine southeast of Paris.
"The #Golfech2 reactor on the Garonne river in southwest France went offline late Monday due to the heat.
"French environmental regulations force nuclear operator #EDF to reduce output when river temperatures reach a certain threshold to protect local ecosystems.
"It was not certain how long the current heatwave, driven by a weather pattern known as an #OmegaBlock due to its shape, which allows temperatures to build day after day, would last.
"Europe is warming at more than twice the global average, the World Meteorological Organisation has said, which makes prolonged heat episodes increasingly likely."

#French #NuclearPower production expected to be reduced on Wednesday
By Reuters
August 12, 2025PARIS, Aug 12 (Reuters) - "Power production at France's #Bugey3 #nuclear reactor in the east of the country is expected to be reduced by 500 megawatts (MW) on Wednesday, data from operator #EDF showed on Tuesday, as high river temperatures reduce the plant's ability to intake cooling water.
"A #heatwave throughout #France has led to multiple warnings of power reductions at a number of #NuclearPlants, particularly on the #RhoneRiver in the east and the #GaronneRiver in the west."The #Bugey 3 reactor has a maximum capacity of 910 MW, which will be reduced to 410 MW from 2:30 p.m. (1230 GMT) to midnight on Wednesday as the reactor is required to meet environmental safety measures, EDF's data showed.
"The high water temperature warnings for the #SaintAlban plant - down river of the Bugey site - and the #Golfech site in the west were moved to August 14, but restrictions have not yet been issued.
Average temperatures in the country are expected to continue to peak throughout the week, reaching a high of 28.5 degrees Celsius (83.3°F) on Saturday, LSEG data showed."#NuclearPower accounts for about 70% of total French power consumption annually, but August is the main holiday season throughout the country and electricity demand is often limited."

The #HeatWave of late June threatens French #nuclear production
Written by Justine Dumont, Energy Renovation Expert Editor on 24 June 2025 at 08:00
"#EDF plans to reduce the production of its nuclear fleet, in particular that of the #Bugey power plant in Ain, as of Wednesday 25 June, due to the expected high temperatures. This decision comes at a time when Météo-France has placed 16 departments in orange-heat-wave vigilance since Friday 20 June."

40 nuclear reactors in operation🟢
The 🇫🇷 #nuclear fleet is getting back in the game 🎮🌤Following #Flamanville 2 and #Cruas 2, #Cattenom 4 after 2 failed launches in recent days seems to be back for good. And this morning two other units join them: #Bugey 3 and #Dampierre 3 💪
