Status of energy storage options for electricity from nuclear power plants
Existing nuclear power plants benefit from high efficiency by operating at full capacity for generating electricity. However, the demand for electricity is an hourly variable and thus excess electricity is available at off-peak times on a given day. The price of this off-peak electricity is very low compared to the average price. Storing or utilizing this

Nuclear–Renewable Hybrid Energy Systems | IAEA
Nuclear–Renewable Hybrid Energy Systems. Nuclear energy and renewables are the two principal options for low carbon energy generation. However, synergies among these resources have yet to be fully exploited, and the advantages of directly integrating these generation options are being explored. Nuclear-renewable
Nuclear energy — Science Learning Hub
The term ''nuclear energy'' describes exactly what it is – energy from the nucleus of an atom. The bonds that hold atoms together are extremely powerful, and we can use this power in two ways – nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the process commonly referred to as splitting the atom, a process first achieved by New
An overall safety concept for nuclear power plants
We present an ORSAC—Overall Safety Concept—that couples independent defence lines with fundamental safety functions in a matrix form. The matrix is a transparent and easily accessible visualization of the overall safety justification of a nuclear power plant, i.e. how well the plant meets its top stated safety goals.
