It's great. France literally does load follow based on demand: raises/lowers control rods throughout the day.

- toomuchtodo 8y agoThe US Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not permit automated load following of US nuclear generators. France and Germany nuclear regulators considered it earlier in the permitting process, hence the functionality exists there (load following incurs higher maintenance costs for components such as valves, but does not incur a higher fuel cost).
