[4] If a 3000 MW reactor system has the capability of getting rid of the
2000 MW of power that is not going to the grid, then it certainly has the
ability to get rid of 1500 MW of thermal energy (without using the grid) if
the reactor were shut down to 50% (or less)
[3] Depending on where the reactor was in its fuel cycle, if a SCRAM
occurred, wouldn't there be enough residual heat to run a 100 MW or smaller
turbine/generator?
If this is true, why aren't power plants designed this way?
