When extreme heat threatens Europe's nuclear power

·Deutsche Welle

Europe's nuclear power plants are being forced to reduce output due to extreme heat, which is causing warm rivers and low water levels. This is a concern because nuclear power plants rely on cooling systems that use water from rivers and lakes to prevent overheating. The reduction in power output can have significant consequences for grids and prices, especially on critical days when energy demand is high. As a result, Europe's energy infrastructure is facing a new challenge in managing its power supply during heatwaves.
