Europe’s biggest producer of atomic energy, usually a net exporter of power for most of the year, is importing now. The nuclear issues are not just a problem for France but for countries such as neighboring Germany, which may have to burn more gas to keep the lights instead of preserving the fuel in storage for winter.
EDF temporarily reduces nuclear power output as French rivers get too warm Company expects lowest power production in three decades as ability to cool plants is restricted The French energy supplier EDF is temporarily reducing output at its nuclear power stations on the Rhône and Garonne rivers as heatwaves push up river temperatures, restricting its ability to use river water to cool the plants. The majority-state-owned company, Europe’s biggest producer of nuclear energy, said it would extend output cuts at several power stations on the two rivers as the hot spell continues – but that a minimum level of output would be maintained to keep the grid steady. EDF warned of potential output cuts at its nuclear power plants Tricastin, St Alban and Golfech in coming days due to high temperatures in the Rhône and Garonne rivers. It started imposing production restrictions in mid-July at Tricastin, St Alban and Bugey on the Rhône and Blayais at the mouth of the Garonne amid sweltering temperatures.

冷却核电站需要大量的水资源, 现在欧洲这温度,好多河床下降的,都快干涸了,没办法。别说河水的温度一高,就没法用来冷却反应堆了。
全球气候变暖,欧洲首当其冲,受影响最大,为啥叫得响,确实是利益所在。

日本一个核电站刚刚又泄漏了! 摊上这种邻居也无奈。韩国恨死了。
日本关西电力公司当地时间8月1日公布,距首次运行至今已超过40年、目前处于停运状态的美滨核电站3号机组的核反应堆辅助建筑内,泄漏了约7吨含有放射性物质的水 。但关西电力称未对外界造成影响。 关西电力公司正在调查此次泄漏是否会对该机组预定于8月10日的重启造成影响。
免惊,修法可解。核电站冷却水温度的要求是法律规定的,目的在于控制热污染对水体生态的影响。
只要把这个要求放宽一个摄氏度两个摄氏度,核电站本身没任何问题。
其实,本质上来讲,很多发电方式都有热污染,现阶段要控制进入天然水体的热量,只能控制总用电量
要么核电站都修在海边,影响小一些。
或者及早淘汰落后的第一代第二代第三代核电站,告别水冷,进入第四代核电站,用气冷、钠冷、铅冷、熔盐
