> You're comparing scheduled maintenance in a 90+% uptime system with intermittent, unpredictable, correlated, continuous fluctuations in power, with capacity factors in the 10-30$ range of nameplate capacity. https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/WorldStatistics/ThreeYrsEnergyAvailabilityFactor.aspx https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/WorldStatistics/ThreeYrsEnergyAva... And what happens when the same issue is found in all 15 plants that requires an immediate shutdown? What happens when you try to run more than 3TW of reactors for more than 4 fuel cycles? > I have a great solution for nuke plant downtime, this is going to blow your mind, wait for it: for every 14 plants worth of power, built, drumroll please.... 15 plants! Then maintain them on a schedule. So what's this about long distance transmission to join uncorrelated wind being completely unfeasible that nuclear stans keep harping on about?
