EDF updates its 2023 French nuclear output estimate from 340 – 370 TWh to 300-330 TWh.
This estimate takes into account:
- a heavy industrial programme with 44 reactor outages for maintenance and inspection, including 6 ten-yearly inspections, plus 2 scheduled outages starting in 2022 that will continue into 2023;
- the continuation of the control and repair programme on the pipes potentially affected by the stress corrosion phenomenon, which is still ongoing.
