Impact of nuclear energy on fossil fuel substitution
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the effects of nuclear-renewables mix on the electricity generation industry and determined that the addition of some nuclear generating capacity decreases by approximately 3 the required wind capacity and by a factor of 6 the required solar installed capacity, and the contributions of nuclear energy also result in reductions of the dissipated energy in the storage-regeneration processes and the needed utility level storage capacity.About:
