See the province of Ontario where 50-70% of power is from nuclear generation ("Supply" tab):

A steady 10,000 MW. Hydro tends to supply another 3000 MW for baseload. As wind fluctuates, gas turbines can brought online as needed.
We could use another 3000MW of nuclear capacity IMHO.
(I live 50km from one of the nuke plants.)
