And slowly dropping south ;)

[krupatel] 10/1/2008 11:43

looks like this is gonna break £6

[tilmanstone] 10/1/2008 11:40

Tlee: Errr I think you're wrong... Just blasted north... :))

Reasons: the rise was over reacted.. Okay it is the largest reactor but still 2 are down. expecting a fall now...

1) GOOD:British Energy's Torness reactor resumed
service last night after an unplanned outage in late November

2) BAD:The UK nuclear provider still has reactors down at Heysham and Hartlepool
after problems in the wire winding raised safety concerns. These will be out for
longer than Torness as the problems are more complex and British Energy is
working with the regulator to ensure all potential problems are remedied, the
spokeswoman said.

3) AND THE UGLY: While the reactor was down, the company also carried out additional maintenance

[tlee05] 10/1/2008 11:06

Back in. Chart movements overation and still uncertainy! 2 reactors are still down and will be for a good while.

Steve I've closed my short to down 800. Think its time to kill my self ;)

[stevedeer] 10/1/2008 09:32

I've closed my short for a small loss this morning... I hope to open it again very soon once the governments nuclear news is out of the way

[stevedeer] 10/1/2008 09:28

sandbank

click on 'news'... that's all the info I have... there have been 2 bits of bad news regarding the boilers... and bad news tends to come in 3's... imho

[sandbank] 10/1/2008 08:49

STEVE DEER: Any further info you can impart on the boilers please?

[stevedeer] 09/1/2008 17:20

angora7

exactly

that's my point... forever away

[angora7] 09/1/2008 17:14

stevedeer, most of the industry is working on a timescale of first new nuclear plants being operational by 2017.
Cheers

[stevedeer] 09/1/2008 11:55

tilmanstone...

it could be good news... but how long would it take to get them designed, approved, built and earning money?

i still think there's more bad new on the boiler front... hense my short on bgy today

[dogdig] 08/1/2008 23:07

Thursday should be interesting - encouraging debate on "Newsnight" tonight..

[tilmanstone] 08/1/2008 22:05

I'm assuming this must be good news for BGY...

[hightech] 28/12/2007 10:04

Along with Asian and European, U.S. population is rising much faster than expected which result in higher than expected demand for any kinds of products, including energy.

[scribbler101] 27/12/2007 23:45

but still higher return for the elec.

I think politics the real issue.

[hightech] 27/12/2007 09:04

Higher oil price will result in higher cost of building a new reactor by BGY or a competitor.
Is it good or bad for British Energy and/or electricily prices?

[scribbler101] 23/11/2007 16:55

Best guess is someone testing a bot (computer trading programme)

[just william] 23/11/2007 11:58

What's all those single digit sales all about ( selling one share) etc?

[phillip evans] 22/11/2007 12:47

cheers Rick,

good luck, spiked up this morning !

[pc4900074200] 22/11/2007 12:15

My view is that the government have been sitting on the fence
trying to vote grab on the green issue for too long, with no
firm root re: nuclear energy.

Another Blair / Brown disaster to add to many others?

Around 430p Phil........Rick

[phillip evans] 22/11/2007 09:19

spacemoggy, many thanks for your post, the support level is at what share price based on the support line ?

[speedy] 22/11/2007 08:55

Going by what was said eight days ago, I have to wonder whether management are liars or idiots. Maybe it is time for the conspiracy theory. Suppose the initial view was right, what would suit Government's agenda? Turn a drama into a crisis?
Shut down for checks and modifications?

Without a full explanation, and as Scribbler says, with drawings, I'm suspicious.

One thing's for sure, these dammed wires are going to cost an awful lot of money.

[scribbler101] 21/11/2007 19:37

s69 - no; long Drax so here hoping for bad news!

I am all for Nuclear Energy - just doubtful about investing in geritrtic kit!

Can anyone direct me to some technical explanation of what these damned wires DO - preferably with drawings! Why is replacing wires a big deal? Can't they just get some ex-Chernobyl boys in to do it on the cheap?
