France is a nice counterexample to this. Nuclear is usually used as a buffer for needs and production variations.
In fact, modern Combined cycle natural gas plants are less controllable than nuclear ones.
(That being said, given that the cost of a nuclear plant is mostly independent from its energy output, why would you build wind farms if you already have nuclear plant? Except for political reasons of course)
