Re: " the nuclear power station can work when there is no wind."

That´s why you turn nuclears on, never turn them off, and for the load matching you get to use solar, wind, hydro, gas...

You put them at the base, and leave at it. In fact, you NEED to be sure there is enough of something else to power the cooling of each one of these down while you replace the fuel rods.
