> But nuclear isn't very good at quickly and continuously ramping up and down In terms of kW/min change rate faster then most gas peaker plants used all over the world. It is a totally different question if that is economical (the costs of a nuclear plant don't really change much when running at 20% or 100%). So most operators run their plants at maximum if possible just like what wind/solar do when it is windy/sunny. France is the big exception to this due to how large portion of their production is nuclear they have to follow the load with some of the reactors.
