Heat shuts down nuclear reactors

[Old Rocks]

Nuclear reactors have been shut down in France and Switzerland because the water from cooling was too hot to put into the rivers. As the European heat wave continues, we see the vulnerabilities of nuclear to climate change. Where wind and solar can continue to produce power, to protect the life in the rivers, the nuclear plants have to shut down;

France and Switzerland shut down nuclear power plants due to heatwave

To cool down, nuclear power plants pump water from local rivers or the sea, which they then release back into water bodies at a higher temperature. However, this process can threaten local biodiversity if water is released which is too hot.

The Greenies Hate everything except CCP CO2

How much “hotter” is the water now than a month ago? How can that possibly have an impact on cooling the reactors?!

It’s climate cult insanity

LOL.....Reminds me of the time our prison waste water treatment plant was cited for releasing water that was too clean!

You would not appear to be such a dumb ass were you to read the article before posting your ignorance.

I read it

That's why I know you Greenies hate Western Civilization

Perhaps he would have read it were it not for the fact that it's a click-bait site with all kinds of warnings that pop-up.....Perhaps you could find us all a non-AIDS infected link.

No I read it and it doesn't say what the OP claims

The hot water is just an AGW Cult ruse to stop nuclear power when its needed the most for air conditioning, Satanic ***** that they are

OK, say the water was too warm.....When that happens the critters just stay away from it and move to cooler water....Generally speaking discharges are naturally aeriated due to discharge turbulence, thus cooled. It's not like the plants are discharging into a town creek.

To create "news" where there is none.

Well, sure.

But it’s more Satanic fun when you make people miserable and suffer and maybe kill off a few useless eaters with Climate Warming Global Change

I guess.

At Hanford Washington they get rid of excess water heat by just releasing it into the air..... thus the Reactors stayed on while it was 120 degrees F a few years ago.

Thank goodness they have cheap solar power at night.

Ummm....uhhhhh.

Sounds mostly due to bad design.

Ahhh! The wonders of a college degree!

Or was it just plain common sense.
