Ping TNP - Nuclear output?

Looking at Gridwatch the output from the nuclear plant seems to have been creeping up by trifles over the last week or so.



I can see from

that Dungeness B and Hunterston B are both off line (4 reactors in total) and that Heysham 1 Reactor 2 is at reduced load to manage fuel temperatures but everything else seems to be at full (nominal) chat.



Are these minor variations (as shown on the monthly graph) common or have they just put all available reactors up against the stops because of the cold weather?

you do get a bit more out if the condensors are being fed from very cold water

other than that I dont know

I think one reactor is due to come online today maybe?
