How much more can nuclear power plants give?

Nuclear power plants are already among the most reliable electricity sources, but analysts are asking whether existing reactors can be pushed further. Discussion is focused on uprating output, extending plant lifetimes, and reusing retired sites to meet rising electricity demand.
