In particular, thermal energy storage (TES) provides several advantages when integrated with nuclear energy. First, nuclear reactors are thermal generators, meaning that fewer energy transformation mechanisms are required when thermal energy is used as the coupling energy resource.
Second, TES systems would preserve nuclear energy in its original form (heat), enabling much more flexible use when the stored energy is recovered (e.g., electricity production or steam supply for industrial systems).
