But I thought nuclear was supposed to be 100% reliable baseload that wasn’t affected by seasons in any way /s
I don’t mean to be negative about nuclear power, I just feel that in recent years in online discussions nuclear power has become this mythological source of power. We’re discussing all the challenges and issue with renewables in such detail. But the discussion of nuclear is so surface level, focusing mainly on public fear and regulations.
