France currently has half the reactors stopped (28/56), but why?
- 7 are stopped for refurbishment as their lifetime extension require important work
- 13 are stopped for the corrosion issue detected
- 3 are currently replacing the nuclear fuel
- 5 are stopped for other technical issue
It's true that this year France will only produce 300TWh instead of 350TWh last year which is not the gloom picture that you try to make. By Novembre most of the reactors are planned to be backed online.(https://www.francetvinfo.fr/economie/energie/infographies-baisse-de-production-nucleaire-prix-du-gaz-risques-de-penuries-sept-graphiques-pour-comprendre-la-crise-energetique-en-france_5245288.html https://www.francetvinfo.fr/economie/energie/infographies-ba...)
The main problem is that the new reactors that were supposed to come online 10 years ago are still not there, and that the multiple offshore wind generation projects are still blocked!
