Nuclear industry hit by multiple shutdowns

摘要

The nuclear industry was buffeted by a series of announcements of reactor shutdowns and potential phase-outs in September. It was announced that Spain's Garona BWR would shut in July 2013, rather than in 2019 as had previously been expected. In Canada, the newly-elected government of Quebec said that state-owned Hydro-Quebec would not be allowed to invest in a life extension of the Gentilly-2 PHWR, which would have to close when its license expires at year-end.
