Nuclear generates the same power when demand is minimum as when its maximum.
Take Germany for example. It requires a peak of 45GW of power and a trough of 30GW.
That means that you need 45GW running 24/7, with 10% overcapacity for maintenence, so 50GW running 247,
Nuclear's lack of dispatchability means it needs to generate 50GW to produce 35GW-days, meaning the cost per MWh is more like $150 per MWh rather than $30MWh for solar.
