Fusion42 · 29 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

The Beznau nuclear power plant in Switzerland, Europe's oldest nuclear plant, has fully resumed operation after several shut downs caused by summer heat waves that raised river temperatures necessary for cooling. The plant's Reactor 2 returned to full power following refueling and gradual reconnection to the grid.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 2 sources have reported it between 28 Aug 2026 and 29 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face increased risk of cooling-dependent power outages during heat waves as older plants show vulnerability. Review your energy supply dependencies now to mitigate interruptions during extreme weather.
