The turbine in a nuclear power plant typically spins at around 3,600 revolutions per minute (RPM) to generate electricity efficiently. The high-speed rotation of the turbine is used to drive the generator that produces electricity.
A fast cutback in a power plant refers to a rapid reduction in power generation output in response to changes in the grid demand or system conditions. This can be achieved by adjusting the plant's control settings, such as turbine speed or steam flow, to quickly decrease the electricity output. Fast cutbacks are crucial for maintaining grid stability and balancing supply and demand in real time.
The most common examples of nuclear energy at the present time are the PWR and BWR reactors. There are 104 operating reactors in the US and about 50 in France. The Canadian developed PHWR is also well established and has been built in India as well as Canada. In the UK the AGR advanced gas cooled reactor has been successfully operated.
The Kalpakkam nuclear power plant uses heavy water (deuterium oxide) as a coolant and moderator in its Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). Heavy water has a higher density than regular water, allowing it to efficiently slow down neutrons and regulate the nuclear reaction in the reactor core.
With a nuclear reactor running at operating temperature and with all the associated systems on line, the reactor can increase its power output in seconds to accommodate a larger demand for electric power. If we have to start up the reactor and warm up all the steam lines and such, it takes longer to begin to generate electricity. Nuclear power generator plants generate heat, which heats a closed circulating liquid that is radioactive. That heat is transferred to another liquid, which is not radioactive, is converted to steam, which turns turbine generators which generates electricity. Once everything is up and running, it all happens at a fast rate. A much less efficient method, but quicker and less complicated, directs the nuclear plants heat to thermocouples or some similar technology to generate electricity immediately.
A wind turbine is a machine that uses fast moving air to turn its blades connected to a turbine. The turbine, in turn, spins a generator that produces electricity. This is a renewable energy source known as wind power.

Turbine blades turn by the winds power so if its windy they turn fast if it is not windy at all they don't turn
As fast as it is produced, there is no way to store it.

Graphite and heavy water (deuterium oxide) are commonly used as moderators in nuclear power plants to slow down fast neutrons, allowing them to cause fission reactions more efficiently in the fuel rods.

Fast neutron energy is characterized by high kinetic energy levels, making them effective for inducing nuclear reactions. These reactions can be utilized in nuclear power generation, nuclear weapons, and neutron imaging techniques. Fast neutron reactors can also help reduce nuclear waste and increase fuel efficiency in the nuclear industry.
This all depends on firstly how the turbine is built, and how large the turbine is. Please add more detail.
