How can a single unit power an entire city for decades without refueling? According to Interesting Engineering, France’s Stellarium reactor may be on the edge of making history. But what makes this design so different from anything before it? The answer could change how the world thinks about nuclear power. | The Brain Maze | Facebook

France experienced a rare electricity market event where power prices temporarily dropped to zero. This happens when supply exceeds demand so strongly that generators are willing to sell electricity at no cost. The main drivers are high nuclear output combined with strong renewable generation from wind and solar. When consumption is low and production remains high, the grid becomes oversupplied. Electricity is difficult to store at large scale, so excess power must be used immediately. Instead o
