At least not if you ONLY rely on nuclear. https://www.euractiv.com/section/electricity/news/electricity-exporter-for-42-years-france-became-a-net-importer-in-2022/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/electricity/news/electricit... France massively profits from being part of the European grid. While the above is about a year time frame, France is frequently an importer. That's why there's big grids with different producers, consumers, and forms of storage, like pumped-storage. Having just nuclear power would be really dumb. Just like just solar, just wind, etc.
