This is modern nuclear power... I'm sure they'll get the kinks worked out and it will operate as expected but this thing broke ground over 15 years ago with a expected first power date in 2012 and a projected cost of 3 billion euro.. It ended costing nearly 20 billion euros and for all intents, didn't start producing power until 2025. In any case, they were projecting the actual startup to take months so I'm not surprised it's not producing full capacity yet; Following this initial coupling, in accordance with the startup operations, the phases of testing and of connection and disconnection to the grid will continue for several months, under the supervision of the ASN, until the reactor reaches 100% power.
