When 2 were out it was 4.8GW so I think another is down, making 3.

Yes its 3 now, Torness reactor 1 is out (don't know why) as well as Heysham 1 reactor 2 and Heysham 2 reactor 8.

Found the other one out on,

Thats probably why we have 3 coal plants running now, up from 2.

Edf website is updated now and Torness is running so they must have had a temporary trip on the generator side as the reactors are above fifty percent so they haven’t been offline.

Heysham 1 and 2 both have one reactor off for furling and stage two has a wobbly turbine issue that’s extended the refuel

That and the fact that wind was down to under 4GW. Lucky the French have put plenty of sticking plasters on their nuclear plants to get the mostly up and running again so they can help us out!

That just means those units havent changed their forecast but the sites updated for the 8th Feb now and Torness is still on the bars and heysham stage 2 still has a unit offload refuelling as per their stated 3rd Feb update thats extended for turbine vibration investigations and stage 1 has a reactor offline for refuelling due back on the 17th.

The main thing I was trying to note was Torness was back on load according to EDF but terravolt still shows one unit off.
