Well yea, countries keep buying nuclear from France because it's clean, cheap, and they don't want to suffer the political backlash from the science lacking environmentalists which come forward when they talk about building nuclear on their own land
France has been importing more electricity than exporting in 2022 because their nuclear reactors can’t perform in the heat resulting from climate change. And this is more likely to happen again as each year becomes hotter.
I’m not sure where this fetishism for France‘s nuclear energy is coming from.
Nuclear plants are cooled with river water, and that water is getting too hot:
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/warming-rivers-threaten-frances-already-tight-power-supply-2022-07-15/
"Reactor production is limited during times of high heat to prevent the hot water re-entering rivers from damaging wildlife."
So it's not due to any physical limitations but an environmental protection issue.
Also in the article
"... at a time when half its reactors are offline due to maintenance and corrosion issues."
So they are doing maintenance and found some issues requiring more work.
Why don't they build them in cold places then? They don't have any cold areas north? Can they build em next to glaciers before those melt too. If they all melt, we may be too dead for it to matter anyways.
