There is no place for nukes, just because because they cost so many times more than renewables. They cost, per kWh, even more run intermittently.
What you need in backup generation is cheap construction. Storage cost is falling even faster than solar and wind.
We already have the combined-cycle gas turbines. Their opex falls with duty cycle. Duty cycle falls with renewable generation buildout and, eventually, storage buildout.
