Nag-brownout ba? Power interruptions? Mataas ang demand ng kuryente? Makakatulong ang NUCLEAR diyan!
Mataas ang capacity factor ng mga nuclear plant sa buong mundo (80-90%) dahil patuloy na umaandar at minsan lang kailangan i-refuel.
Kung ikukumpara, nasa 50% lang ang capacity factor ng coal at natural gas, dahil sa mas madalas na maintenance, refueling, at iba pa.
Mainam din na backup ang nuclear bilang isang baseload at malinis na pinagkukunan ng enerhiya, ka-tandem ang solar at wind plants na nasa 25-35% ang capacity factor.
NUCLEAR is a WORTHY INVESTMENT!
