Phil - it doesn't say why - it's a poor article.
You just push the nuclear control rods in during the day and take them out at night.
That's how nuclear power is controlled to vary with the load.
Also - that way - the reactor Uranium fuel rods will last twice as long
so it will be cheaper to run the nuclear reactors.
The article states that Nuclear power would take priority over renewables to make Nuclear financially viable....Your opinion is bullshit Bobby....Although Nuclear can be alternated the Nuclear power plant must run at almost maximum capacity to make it economicly viable....The articles I have posted makes this quite clear to anyone not as stupisd as you Bobby....Can you provide any evidence Nuclear is cheaper than renewables Bobby???
Quote:SA was the first state to see network demand fall below zero back in October 2021.
In the southwest of Western Australia the market operator is projecting network loads will become negative in coming years, something I predicted a decade ago.
As baseload generation is used less and less, it costs more and more per MWh and becomes less competitive and commercially viable. This is the main reason coal fired power stations are closing and baseload generation is becoming redundant.
SA is a predictor of the whole of Australia in coming years. If coal is not commercially viable into the future, then how can nuclear possibly be, when it is far more expensive?
Feel free to support your argument with verifiable facts and not your own stupid opinion!!!

The only way to make nuclear power work in Australia is to switch off cheap renewable energy. Stop exporting electricity from your rooftop solar system. Forget feed-in tarrifs. The system has to call on baseload nuclear power first, or the plan makes no sense whatsoever. And to make space for nuclear in 10-15 years, you’d have to somehow make coal financially viable now.
