would be hugely detrimental.. May be the middle ground is more representative of the real situation.that companies face,.
though in reality there is a mix.This graph paints the picture that scale has.The model does not consider that smaller scale can be made more efficient through step changes in automation which are already being developed.
it does not account for the fact that making a larger number of repeat units itself leverages economies of scale and the unit price for small scale could well reduce over time.This is the dream of new nuclear, where the aim is that smaller multiple units will deliver both a time and cost improvement..
The conclusion for me is that scale absolutely matters and it needs to be carefully and thoroughly considered.
and modelled not just for one product but for the unpredictable portfolio of products that will come.But the same aspects are a matter of debate for renewables.
These objections are perfectly relevant in determining the right mix for our energy production portfolio.But because we are trying to determine whether nuclear energy is clean and safe, we focus on the likelihood and scale of the negative aspects of nuclear..
The main objections to nuclear are:.We should not use nuclear because of radioactive waste storage issues.
