I have a friend who recently finished his phd in chemical engineering. During a conversation about BTC he presented BTC mining as a potential solution to a long standing challenge with nuclear energy.
With nuclear energy it is a challenge to drastically turn the dial up or down in order to adjust energy output to accommodate the daily fluctuations in demand. For example, at night when people are asleep demand for energy is low and obviously that demand increases drastically during the day.
My understanding (admittedly limited) is that nuclear reactors don’t have the ability to make such drastic changes in output to accommodate daily usage. He then mentioned that Bitcoin mining has been floated as a solution to this problem. Essentially the nuclear reactors would be going 24/7 to accommodate daily demand and then during the night the unused energy would be diverted to Bitcoin mining.
Is this a viable solution? Is it already in use?
