1x full storage tank of 500deg steam = 2.425 GJ of energy. Heat Ex & Heat Pipes store up to 500MJ each. Each Reactor Core stores up to 5GJ. Realistically you would not want the HX, HP, & cores at max temp (probably = wasting fuel). However, as they do store a fair amount & you always need to build some anyway, it means you need less steam tanks ...

Tank thermal energy storage (TTES) is a vertical thermal energy container using water as the storage medium. The container is generally made of reinforced concrete, plastic, or stainless steel (McKenna et al., 2019 ). At least the side and bottom walls need to be perfectly insulated to prevent thermal loss leading to considerable initial cost ...
For energy storage, the goal is to maximize the amount of the stored working fluid for achieving a higher output power during peak hours; therefore, the LNG cold energy is utilized as much as possible to enhance the energy storage capacity. Park et al. [26] presented a combined design that used a LAES during off-peak times to store the …
