You sure about that?


It seems to have been around 50% of nuclear output for the last day or two,
7.5% oftotal. Not an insignificant amount.

Last time I looked at electicity generation output, gas, nuclear and coal
were all about 33%, now coal is not far off 50%, nuclear about 16% and gas
most of the remainder.

What has caused the drop in nuclear? It can't be all down to the
decommisioning of magnox, surely?
