11,184 UK Wind Turbines Supplying Intermittent Electricity = 1 Hinkley Point C Supplying 24/7 Electricity.

"...How long does a wind turbine last? The design life of a good quality modern wind turbine is 20 years. Depending on how windy and turbulent the site is, the turbine could last for 25 years or even longer, though as with anything mechanical, the maintenance costs will increase as it gets older..."

Homes Powered Equivalent (p.a.) - 

Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant = 6,406,500

6,406,500 Homes x 60 Years = 379,000,500 Total

Hinkley Power Total ÷ Wind Power Total = 1.59

Total UK Wind Farm Capacity Needed to Deliver as much electricity to UK Households is: 

1.59 x 14,261.275 MW = 22,675.427 MW

-----------------------//--------------------

The UK needs to build another 8,414.152 MW of Wind Turbine Capacity [that's another 4,150 wind turbines] 

to deliver the same [intermittent] power as Hinkley's [24/7] power.

-----------------------//---------------------

11,184 Wind Turbines = 1 Hinkley Point C

----------------------//-------------------

But - Will that target be reached before Hinkley starts to deliver?

Hinkley Point C Will Power More Than One Quarter Of All UK Homes For 60 Years!

Radiobiology: Low Dose Radiation Research

Program Description

The Low Dose Program is unique within the US

 government in supporting experimental 

radiation biology research that studies the effects of 

very low dose exposures.

Program Accomplishments

Research from DOE's Low Dose Program re-examines

existing paradigms and provides the results that support

the development of new, biological paradigms.

One example that challenges an old assumption is the 

findings that exposure to a low vs. high dose of radiation 

results in both qualitatively as well as quantitatively 

different cellular and molecular responses, thus 

demonstrating non-linear response with respect to 

dose. 

Another is the finding that in addition to high-dose 

biological damage that may lead to cancer, 

very low dose radiation exposure may participate in 

beneficial biological outcomes by stimulation of our 

natural tissue surveillance mechanisms. 

These processes are shaped by physical 

exposure parameters that include dose, dose-rate and 

dose-distribution. 

The research has underscored the importance of the 

Low Dose Program's effort to study intact-tissue 

biological response to a stressor such as radiation 

exposure, rather than studying only the initial events 

within an individual cell.
