Thought leaders on capacity factors and nuclear power

摘要

Nuclear News reached out to leaders in the nuclear community to ask them for their views on the capacity benefits that come from nuclear. We received wide-ranging responses, from how capacity factors provide examples of the excellence of nuclear professionals, to the work being done at universities to continually improve capacity factors, to the impor- tance of adding the word "inherent" to the conversation because forms of energy are different from one another and so inherent capacity factor is a critical piece of understanding. If you have your own thoughts about capacity factor, please let Nuclear News know. If we collect enough comments, it may result in a Part 2 of this article in the future.
