For a country that does not yet use nuclear power, the introduction and development of nuclear power is a major undertaking. It requires the country to build the necessary infrastructure so it can construct and operate a nuclear power plant (NPP) profitably in a safe, secure and technically sound manner. A major part of the necessary infrastructure is the electric grid to which the NPP will con...

T raditionally, nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been considered as baseload sources of electricity as they rely on a technology with high fixed costs and low variable costs. In the beginning of the nuclear era, the share of nuclear power in the overall energy mix was usually small, and adjustments of electric load in response to variations in electricity demand could be left to technologies wi...
