If you have 30 reactors, maybe 3 are going down due to maintenance or other random reason. 90% capacity factor.
If wind doesn't blow over Europe, you can have 15% overall capacity factor.

If new build nuclear can compete, then great. But right now it can't, and models show we can get there without it.
