    To be honest even if it was a power plant… they’re already in the business of generating power. If generating more clean power in the same space is an option, that sounds great

      Yeah, and nuclear reactors use a lot of electrical power anyway. When they’re first starting they need to draw a lot from the grid and they all have powerful backup generators and battery banks to keep the systems online in the event they need to suddenly shutdown the reactor.

      The implausible thing would actually be getting approval to put the panels up, since reactors have high standards for checking the consequences of different materials being used on-site.
