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.

This paper deals with the estimation of and of the PuPu redox couple in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt using statistical data fitting of experimental data. The value was also estimated in our laboratory at 723 and 773 K using logarithmic analysis of semi-integral voltammograms and chronopotentiograms. From semi-integral curves, was found to be −2.888 0.021 and −2.810 0.021 V at 723 and 773 K, respectively, whereas it was −2.851 0.020 V at 773 K from the analysis of chronopotentiograms. Based on subsequent statistical analysis, we recommend the following expressions for and applicable for the temperature range 673 to 823 K:andThe value in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was estimated from calculated for the reactionusing FactSage package, and it was expressed as
