Helms Pumped Storage is able to store surplus off-peak production from Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, representing a symbiotic relationship between the technologies.

I would love to hear from you about SMRs or other nuclear designs that can address variations in demand without storage, as large reactors like the two at DCPP only have two settings. On and Off.

Happy to support the extension for ops at Diablo, took a tour in July.
