About nuclear power
Nuclear plants run best at constant output — the typical chart is an almost straight line, broken only by planned refuelling outages or by incidents. A sudden step down on this chart is almost always a unit going offline.
Nuclear is not renewable, but its carbon emissions during operation are very low — in carbon-intensity estimates it counts almost like wind.
