Why no shutdown of a nuke becuase of a fuel shortage yet ?

1) There is a long, multi-year supply chain from yellow cake to enrichment to fuel rods, and there is some inventory in the chain.

2) Utilities can avoid running nuclear plants as hard, and run coal or NG instead. Why run your nuke plants until "empty", when you can get electricty from other sources ? That way, there is some spare capacity for hot summer days, cold winters, and when the coal plants need maintence.

Quehubo should be able to provide an even better answer.
