Nuclear power plants achieve their optimum economic value when run flat out, and the projected demand had not materialized. By 1988 France's nuclear power plants had a capacity factor of only around 60%, whereas other countries that had not invested in nuclear power so heavily were nearer 80–90%. [6]

The Flamanville Nuclear Power Plant is located at Flamanville, Manche, France on the Cotentin Peninsula.The power plant houses three pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Unit 1 and 2, rated 1.3 GW e each, and based on Westinghouse design, [1] were ordered following the Messmer Plan and deliver full power since 1987.
Nuclear power plants operate in 32 countries and generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. [2] Most are in Europe, North America and East Asia. The United States is the largest producer of nuclear power, while France has the largest share of electricity generated by nuclear power, at about 70%. [3] Some countries operated nuclear ...
The installed total output of 5.528 GW makes it one of the largest nuclear power stations in France. By electrical output it is second place in France and seventh place worldwide. It feeds on average 32 billion kilowatt-hours into the public electricity grid every year.
The Belleville Nuclear Power Plant is located in Belleville-sur-Loire near Léré, along the river Loire between Nevers (75 kilometres (47 mi) upstream) and Orléans (100 kilometres (62 mi) downstream). It employs approximately 620 people and consists of two large 1,300 MW P4 nuclear reactors. Its cooling water comes from the Loire River.
France may face "some days" of power cuts this winter, the head of French power grid operator RTE said on Thursday, as the government briefed local authorities on how to manage any possible outages.
The Tricastin Nuclear Power Plant (French: Centrale Nucléaire du Tricastin) is a nuclear power plant consisting of 4 pressurized water reactors (PWRs) of CP1 type [1] with 915 MW electrical power output each. The power plant is located in the south of France (Drôme and Vaucluse Department) at the Canal de Donzère-Mondragon near the Donzère ...
