Nuclear plants offline until winter
Four nuclear reactors were turned off in the UK because of a crack, which was found only in one nuclear reactor. The other three reactors were then turned off because they were from the same design and could have had the same problem. An accident didn't happen, there is only concern about the shortage of the power for the citizens. Now it depends on the reparation for how long the nuclear reactors will be turned off. Sure is, that the UK can't compensate for long, because a quarter of the nuclear reactors are already turned off and will futher be till the winter. The reparation and the checking of the other three nuclear reactors could be ready between end October and end December. During this period of time, EDF Energy said that they want to work on a new timetable. But first they need to see how they want to compensate this incident. EDF Energy said that they are already working on it.

1/4 - An interesting article and a fairly good summary of the story, however try to summarise the story from the perspective of a business student. That means, what links does this have with the syllabus, which of the 6 key words would you apply? where are the labels to help you find this summary again? A picture would be nice too.
