If you are doing a huge nuclear build out, you should also focus on storage. Nuclear plants are economic to run at peak all the time, even at night when the demand isn’t there. Renewables except reservoir based hydro have the same problem (the reservoir counts as storage for hydro, and anything else if you have can run pumps back up).
