Drop in the level of the Rhône: the Saint-Alban nuclear power plant in slow motion

A river with such a low flow, Christian Rostaing has never seen that. This fisherman worries: “Usually, it’s something you see in the month of July-August. There, it’s much too early”, he explains. Unexpected consequence, the Saint-Alban power station, on the banks of the Rhône, had to run one of its two nuclear reactors at idle for several hours in recent days. With too low a flow, the plant cannot operate normally.
