Performance Charts

Outage Duration Trend

?
Scheduled refueling outage durations over time. Green bars are below average, yellow near average, red above. Dashed line shows the plant's historical average. Shorter outages mean better execution.

Power History (12-Month)

?
Daily power output as a percentage of rated capacity over the past 365 days. Green segments indicate full power (90%+), yellow shows reduced output, and red indicates significant power reductions or shutdowns.

Outage Timeline

?
Visual timeline of all recorded outages. Blue bars are scheduled refueling outages, red bars are forced/unplanned outages. Width represents outage duration. Hover for details.
