Default winter?

I have followed this thread with interest and I have to agree with you
Martin. I know, just a little, about wind turbines and a little about
nuclear reactors.

My understanding is that a nuclear power station may have 1 or more
reactor each of, say, 1500 MW continuous.

A wind farm may have a number of wind generator units each capable of,
say, 1MW maximum output, i.e. when the wind is blowing.

Donc, just one one nuclear reactor may be the equivalent of 1500
windmills at full power, but, no wind, no power and all stored power
sent to grid would not be adequate for even our basic use.
