A world that gets 10% of its energy from nuclear and 90% from renewables is not substantially easier than one that gets 100% from renewables. The intermittency/seasonality issues are not solved by that relatively light sprinkling of nuclear on top. So the objections nuclear advocates use to justify nuclear over cheaper renewables are vitiated. Those problems have to be solved anyway, so why the 10% nuclear?
Nuclear really either goes big or it goes home. And you're saying it won't go big.
