Nuclear power plants can run many decades at full power with adequate maintenance, even more so newer ones. Can the li-ion batteries though? Note that they’d be under stress each day. Perhaps with new/different battery tech, but that’s yet to see how it pans out. As per China and batteries, perhaps, but that’s yet to see how it turns out at the end. They also reverted from not building (many) coal power plants and they are increasingly building them again. So, it’s complex. Also read “China Targets 180 Gigawatts of Battery Storage by end of 2027” which is far away from minimum required for getting rid of nuclear and coal.
