It's worth pointing out that nuclear power's "capacity factor" has been increasing pretty steadily over the last several decades. In the 1970s, it was ~55%. Now it's in the low 90s% and reached an all-time high of 93.4% in the US in 2019. Which is inconsistent with a claim that there has been a major decrease in nuclear power's reliability (although some of it is due to reducing refueling time) due to climate change.
