Even 100 MWt is 30..40 times lower. Nuclear energy is hard to beat with solar one.</p><p>Too bad that its production safety was so neglected then in 1986.</p><p>Also, 1 MWt with expected output of 1024 MWt*h means only 1024 hours of 8760 in a year is adequate for solar power generation. Less than spectacular, too.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=5696&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
