Looks like a nuke has come back online. Its up over 6 again. Interested to
see that the biggest contribution has been coming from coal. Just goes to
show that it's all driven by economics, and CO2 targets have got zip to do
with it ...

It's telling to look at the French one where their entire demand is pretty
much met by nuke output, with enough spare to flog to us at an inflated rate

Not one but several, you can see all the EDF nukes here
http://www.edfenergy.com/energy/powe...daily-statuses the one remaining Magnox in Wales is owned by a different company (and is on it's last legs)

Dungeness B seems to be having problem after problem, feed pump issues, hydrogen leaks etc.

That's very interesting, thanks.

I did not know EDF run pre booked tours - that could be fun. Been to
Sellafield (twice, once a good while ago when the tour was "extra
interesting").
