It’s been the case for years, and the reason why nuclear cannot be the only energy energy source, especially during summer. Hot rivers cannot cool down a nuclear reactor.
The reactor(s) don’t care if the water is 20c or 30c so they don’t shut down the plant(s) because the river is too hot to cool them. They shut them down because the output water becomes so hot that it kills flora and fauna.
Yumm! No need to dine in Restaurants anymore! Sous-vide nine eyed fish straight out of river Seine!
That’s bullshit. Hot rivers can cool down reactors quite well (you just don’t want even hotter rivers for different environmental reasons) and so can closed cooling loops.
The actual reason against nuclear is that it’s economical insanity, always has been and always will. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors. Stories about imaginary reasons against nuclear out there are actually a helpful tool for the pro-nuclear side. They have something to easily debunk while also keeping the discussion away from the only thing that actually matters: the ridiculous costs.
Depending on a nearby river being cool is not the only way for water cooling loops (which are needed not only for nuclear, but for any power plant using steam turbines).
