Nuclear was outputting about 75% of its capacity, which was pretty good performance compared to the other sources. At that rate, if we'd had 25 GW of additional nuclear capacity instead of 25 GW of wind capacity, we would have had another 15 GW of power available during the cold night hours, when wind was outputting only 3.5 GW of its 25 GW capacity.
