What is nuclear energy prohibitive?

The term "nuclear energy prohibitive" means nuclear energy cannot be used. The exact reason depends on circumstances, but, in most cases, the problem is that nuclear power plant's output is constant, so, for example, if a nuclear plant powers a city, you need to divert excess power at night, when that city's consumption goes down. Hence, municipal electricity is nuclear energy prohibitive.
