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?
