That's why you don't shutdown nuclear plants before having a solid backup plan. Or better not shutdown at all.

- PinguTS 5y agoIn France about 30% of nuclear power is unavailable because of maintenance shutdowns. The price hike comes because of the hiking gas prices.
- RaitoBezarius 5y agoSure, at the time of writing, 62% of France's production of electricity is nuclear. We're importing 9392MW also.
- PinguTS 5y ago17 out of the 56 plants are in shutdown right now. https://jpt.spe.org/france-turns-to-coal-as-nuclear-plant-shutdowns-threaten-power-grid https://jpt.spe.org/france-turns-to-coal-as-nuclear-plant-sh...
- RaitoBezarius 5y agoSure, 2% (1765MW) of France's production is coal at the moment. It does not matter that plants are in maintenance, that is the normal state of complex systems like nuclear plants and a very desirable one. Sure, we could do better and close the last two coal factories to get 0% of coal modulo imports. That is still very different from 0% of nuclear. :)
