法國EDF，為什麼要限制某些核電站排放熱水_風聞

法國EDF限制某些核電站排放熱水，是因為冷卻水給二回路降温後温度高於40度，排出會對當地河流的生物產生影響。所以不是水無法直接冷卻反應堆，而是冷卻後無法排放，也算間接的“無法冷卻“。

If the collected water becomes too hot, it can be discharged into rivers and seas, but doing so can cause environmental challenges as EDF recently noted after they announced that it will be reducing the power output from numerous nuclear reactors in France due to heatwaves.

Specifically, the increase in ambient temperatures (exceeding 40C) has resulted in rivers becoming warmer, and dumping warm water back into rivers has the potential to affect local wildlife. As aquatic life is highly sensitive to water temperatures, warmer waters can see wildlife die off, invasive species grow out of control, and disrupt food chains.
