## Resource

France’s nuclear power grid is under strain as extreme heat forces reactors offline and others to run at reduced capacity, sparking a tense balancing act between energy needs and environmental protection. With over a third of the country under its highest heat alert and temperatures soaring toward 41°C, the impacts ripple across tourism, sports, and public safety — including canceled events, early closures, and deadly wildfires. Officials have even temporarily waived temperature limits for one river to safeguard the grid, underscoring how climate-driven heatwaves are exposing critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and accelerating climate-related risks.
