PARIS, May 11 (Reuters) - Nuclear power generation at
EDF's  EDF.PA  French reactors in April rose 14.7% year on year
to 25.0 terawatt hours (TWh), up 3.2 TWh from the same month in
2022, the utility said on Thursday.
    EDF said on its website that total nuclear generation in
France since the start of the year was 110.2 TWh, down 2.8% from
the same period last year, because of outages caused by stress
corrosion and the effects of labour strikes in March and April.
    The French utility said its April nuclear power output in
Britain was down 22.7% year on year at 3 TWh. Total generation
in Britain since the start of the year was at 11.9 TWh, down
21.6% from the same period last year.
