EDF Closes Golftech Nuclear Reactor Amid Rising River Temperatures
PARIS (Reuters) -French utility EDF said it shut down the No. 1 reactor at the Golftech nuclear power plant in southwestern France late on Sunday, ahead of an anticipated rise in the temperature of the Garonne river that supplies the plant's cooling water.
The company is required to modify production when the average daily temperature of the Garonne downstream of the plant exceeds 28 degrees Celsius.
The second unit at the plant was already shut for maintenance, EDF added in a statement on its website on Monday.
