Nuclear is a great supplement to wind and solar PV.

Especially when the share of renewables get close to 100%.

Going from 85-90% to 100% imply to almost double the capacity of renewables energy available, even with batteries and thermal power stations as a backup.

On the other hand having 10-15% of nuclear really helps to stabilize the grid and lower the need to oversize the renewables power production.
