Due to the current #heatwave, a lot has been happening this week for the French #nuclear power production.
In this thread, I will recap the situation as we know it on this Saturday morning.

First, let's take a tour of the French #nuclear power plants experiencing or soon to experience disruptions due to #heat.
1/ Golfech on the Garonne river
The plant has reduced its production by 1000MW since July 13 at 17:30. According to EDF, this should last until the 24th.
2/ Tricastin on the RhĂ´ne river
The power plant has reduced its production by 735MW since this morning, July 16, at 2:30 am.
According to EDF's last assessment, this derating should last at least until the 18th.
