Droughts, wildfires continue to impact power plants in Europe
The effects of this summer’s historic heatwave continue to be felt across Europe. Soaring temperatures and drought in the region have led to elevated river temperatures, low river levels, and wildfires, which have significantly impacted nuclear power plants across the continent.
France’s Electricité de France has reported elevated river temperatures which have forced production cuts, including recent cuts at Golfech, and nuclear power plants in Hungary, Romania, and the United Kingdom, have faced exceptional challenges in recent days.

The release of the President’s FY 2023 Budget offers an opportunity for better understanding the landscape of nuclear energy priorities with the Department of Energy (DOE). Activities within the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy support future reactor deployments, development of advanced reactor fuels, waste reduction, and management research, and many other areas that are critical for the longevity of existing, as well as for future, nuclear technologies. Join ANS as representatives from the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy offer perspectives on what the proposed funding means for the future of many important nuclear energy programs and initiatives.
