I took it to mean clearly delineated responsibilities (i.e. who gets blamed when a part / aspect doesn't work). If there are unclear boundaries between responsibilities, things will fall through the gaps when one group…
That just means for LWR applications you need to switch the storage media. Any thermal plant could implement heat storage if they identify a medium with a large latent heat of fusion that is around where you want to…
That depends on what they mean by load following. While you can load-follow by changing reactor power (like the French do extensively). Westinghouse has long been promoting thermal storage based load following in their…
