Punishing heatwave exposes cracks in France's nuclear power fleet

A recent heatwave in France forced three nuclear plants to halt production as the rivers they rely on for cooling became too warm, highlighting vulnerabilities in Europe's largest nuclear power fleet. This crisis underscores the potential long-term impacts of climate change on energy infrastructure, especially in a country that relies heavily on nuclear power. As temperatures continue to rise, it raises critical questions about the sustainability and future of nuclear energy in the face of environmental challenges.
