    Dear Nucear Shills.

    How would a baseload nuclear power station work in this situation ?

    Turning on and off every day .

    My understanding is that a baseload nuclear power station has to run at about 90% plus for 40 years to make for a very expensive business case.

    l.e . Not switching on and off every day.

    l must be missing something . How can these nuclear power stations be economic when only running half the time at best ?
