Căldura și seceta lovesc în energia nucleară din Europa: Reactoare oprite sau restricționate. România, printre țările vulnerabile

Nuclear power plants in Europe are facing production cuts due to rising river temperatures and low water levels, impacting electricity supply and prices. The situation is particularly critical for Hungary's Paks plant and France's nuclear capacity, which is vital for the European electricity market. While annual production losses in France are minimal, extreme heat can lead to significant short-term reductions. The impact of these restrictions is felt across Europe, with rising electricity demand during heatwaves exacerbating the situation. Future climate change may further increase reactor downtime, prompting France to consider adaptations to its nuclear infrastructure.
