In a windless week Sizewell C (or Hinkley C) would produce over 500 GWh of low/no carbon electricity (3.2GW * 24 * 7). Just to store that amount of surplus renewable energy we'd need 2500 battery facilities (based on 200 MWh for Lakeside Energy Park nationalgrid.com/media-centre/) #nuclear_power

www.nationalgrid.comLakeside facility connects to grid and becomes UK’s largest transmission connected battery | National GridLakeside Energy Park’s 100MW/200MWh facility is now the largest transmission connected BESS project in the UK following energisation.The new facility will boost the capacity and flexibility of the network, helping to balance the system by soaking up surplus clean electricity and discharging it back when the grid needs it.To ensure a safe connection, National Grid, working with its contractor Omexom, upgraded its Drax 132kV substation to accommodate the additional clean power.

"Westinghouse's solution is the eVinci microreactor, which is less than 10 ft (3 m) in diameter and generates up to 5 megawatt electrical (MWe) with a 15 megawatt thermal (MWth) core design. This compact setup can be manufactured in a factory rather than on-site, and it runs for over eight years on a single fueling. "

The eVinci microreactor
New Atlas · eVinci nuclear microreactor moves towards commercializationWestinghouse Electric Company is advancing its revolutionary eVinci nuclear microreactor. Based on space nuclear technology, it boasts a tiny footprint, no moving parts, and can be swapped out for refueling, much like replacing a used gas bottle.

What if Germany had invested in nuclear power? A comparison between the German energy policy the last 20 years and an alternative policy of investing in nuclear power

lemmy.mlWhat if Germany had invested in nuclear power? A comparison between the German energy policy the last 20 years and an alternative policy of investing in nuclear power - LemmyThe science is in: > The analysis of these two alternatives shows that Germany could have reached its climate gas emission target by achieving a 73% cut in emissions on top of the achievements in 2022 and simultaneously cut the spending in half compared to Energiewende. Thus, Germany should have adopted an energy policy based on keeping and expanding nuclear power.
