The nuclear power plant at Rancho Seco was shut down in 1989. Since then, a solar array of similar area has been built. It makes 600 times less power than the former nuclear plant. What a waste! Nuclear 913 MWe capacity Operated for 15 years at a CF of 40% (pretty low for a nuclear plant) Average output of 365MWe Solar 3.4 MW rated capacity (more is planned to be built) The capacity factor is typically around 15-20% Average output ~0.6 MW For more see the in-depth video production, "Forging Fusion: Physical, Chemical, Nuclear, Fusion!
