EdF finance director resigns over Hinkley Point C
Another nail in the coffin for HPC. http://www.theguardian.com/environme...nkley-point-c- nuclear-project-in-crisis-as-edf-finance-director-resigns or http://tinyurl.com/zkg69rd Euan Mearns' blog also has some interesting analysis of Scottish power generation. Much of it is exported to England. The interconnect appears to be able to carry a maximum of 3.5GW. If the Scottish grid shuts down (say due to a nuclear station suddenly going offline, causing thr erest of the grip to trip), a "black start" using power imported from England to get it back up and running will take 24 plus hours (!) The takeaway seems to be that when Longannet closes at the end of the month. the Scots had better get out their paraffin stoves and candles and pray the wind blows. http://euanmearns.com/scotland-engla...ity-transfers/ -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10?
