In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.
Technically they need 200,000 years worth of storage. Although in that case it’s more archival.
And you can’t just balance load with nuclear reactors, they take forever (as in days to weeks) to spool up, you can’t just switch them on. So you’re still going to need some storage capacity and if you’re going to have storage anyway you might as well have a simpler energy generation system to boot without all of the big complicated nuclear reactor equipment.
Plus of course the fact that you can stand up solar panels and wind turbines almost anywhere in 6 months, but you’ll be wrangling for 30 years to build a new nuclear reactor.
