    This is not correct.

    It is, you just proved it yourself:

    “typical ramps are kept below 1.5%/min.”

    Compare that with batteries or pumped hydro.

      That’s plenty fast enough for a power grid.

      1.5% of 900MW is 13.5MW. That’s plenty of power output scaling per minute.

        I think you’re getting peaker plants, e.g gas fired confused with load following.

        Nuclear plants are not used as peaker plants. you incorrectly stated that they are.

          It’s a shame that you’re being voted down here, even though your points are actually more on the factual side. Well, that’s probably the fate of those who “dare” to say something against nuclear. Even if everyone else demonstrably doesn’t have a clue about the subject: They’re still bashing it. It’s just good that downvotes on Lemmy don’t really matter.
