Re:California exceeds 100% of energy demand with renewables ... by toast0 on Tuesday April 16, 2024 @03:35AM (#40049298)
That's more about economics than operations. Nuclear can modulate output, but pretty much won't except for operational needs (maintenance, grid needs). Older reactors take longer to modulate output, but either way, the economics say the reactor cost so much to build that you should run it at capacity as much as possible, especially since its lifetime is limited.
