So yeah in the mostly probable case that reading was not involved in many of the comments, they were not shut down for a technical issue but the govt stops them from discharging the water.
All the reactor works fine and would work fine. Gov makes choice to let people hurt
Indeed, it's mentioned in the article: "The measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging too much hot water into rivers already warming from the heatwave."
France (and to a lesser extent large parts of europe) is currently suffering from an exceptional heat wave.
They should figure out a way to use the heatwave to drive a turbine.
You need a temperature difference, like a hot piece of radioactive material and cold water https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics
It’s always a problem of too much entropy.

You kinda don’t want to kill the whole river ecosystem. We need a functioning environment
Doesn’t happen to solar plants.
