Yeah. Of all the crazy climate-related goings on, this one surprised me the most. I never considered the possibility that the natural warming of water systems would compromise nuclear power. It makes sense; I’d just never considered it!

This was an environnemental directive, for not releasing water too hot into the rivers. This measure has been temporarily suspended by the government. The major factor is for delayed maintenance during COVID, and corrosion problems appearing lately.

Just because the measures are suspended doesn't invalidate the reason for them in the first place. To endanger the rivers ecosystems isn't really helpful
