If the situation seems to return to normal in the face of strikes in refineries, in front of nuclear power plants, the concern grows.
The maintenance work of 18 nuclear reactors in France is effectively affected by the mobilizations linked to salary demands, an FNME-CGT union representative announced on Thursday, quoted by Reuters.
Four other reactors are undergoing load reductions, this source added.
“Serious Consequences”
This Wednesday, RTE, the manager of the electrical network, was alarmed by this strike that could have “serious consequences” on the energy supply this winter when the situation is already tense.
These movements can, in fact, delay theEDF’s business plan restart nuclear power plants in maintenance. To ensure a good power supply this winter, the goal is to put fifteen reactors back into service before January. However, the planning is millimeter.
for the strike EDF has already announced that it will postpone the restart of five reactors.
According to the BFM Business energy dashboardno progress can be reported in terms of restarting the nuclear reactors this week as 25 of them are still shut down.
