NUCLEAR PLANT UTILIZATION The United States is not building many nuclear plants, but the ones it has are running at nearly full capacity. The output (as a percentage of total capacity) of nuclear plants is described by the equation
where
a. Sketch the line with the given equation.
b. What are the slope and the
c. Give an interpretation of the slope and the
d. If the utilization of nuclear power continued to grow at the same rate and the total capacity of nuclear plants in the United States remained constant, by what year were the plants generating at maximum capacity?
