France has had similar issues with nuclear reactors during heatwaves.

Literally, almost every summer, heatwaves force France to reduce (even halve) its nuclear output. But seeing the Romanian army use explosives to divert the Danube to cool a nuclear reactor leaves us speechless 😶

The result? Less electricity when demand peaks, more fossil gas as backup, and higher prices for everyone Every summer shows the same thing: a resilient energy system cannot rely on big plants vulnerable to extreme weather Europe needs renewables, storage, flexibility and stronger interconnection
