French reactor down as cold snap drives power demand
Paris (AFP) Feb 10, 2012
A French nuclear reactor has gone into an unscheduled shutdown, state
energy giant EDF said on Friday, placing fresh pressure on a national
power grid already strained by freezing temperatures.
The company said the shutdown, on the number two reactor at the Cattenom
plant in the northeast of the country, was caused by a broken
alternator in a non-nuclear part of the reactor and posed no threat
