While the discharge of water by power plants can cause water to warm up in streams from 4 to 6 degrees, the public enterprise is concerned that it may have to stop them more frequently.
The heat waves force the regular shutdown of nuclear reactors in the summer. 42 of the 57 reactors operated by EDF depend directly on the French rivers. The energetician therefore wants to relax the temperature standards for the discharge of water.
