Thanks. That might be true, but it's not what I meant. Generally, the view is that most of the cost of a nuclear plant is paid upfront, the fuel does not cost much. If that view is correct, you basically need to run them all the time to make it even remotely economical. These unplanned downtimes are a killer.
