Original Message
Because the heat has caused the water these plants use to be too warm.
So far, French energy supplier EDF has shut down four reactors at three power plants, Swedish utility Vattenfall shut down one reactor, and several plants in Finland, Germany, and Switzerland were forced to cut back on their output. Nuclear plants in Sweden and Finland are the region’s second largest power source and countries like France and Germany greatly rely on this type of energy.
