Feb 10 (Reuters) - The following table lists outages
at French state-run utility EDF's nuclear reactors that
provide information on stoppages and restarts.
France has a total nuclear generation capacity of 63,260
megawatts (MW) provided by 58 reactors, according to France's
power grid RTE.
According to a Reuters estimate, 4,000 MW or 6.3 percent
of France's nuclear production capacity is currently offline.
This puts the online availability at 59,260 MW or 93.7
percent.
Grid operator RTE publishes weekly and three-monthly
forecasts per unit of production above 100 MW, which are updated
on a daily basis at 1000 GMT and each Friday at 1000 GMT,
respectively.
