Saskatchewan, Ontario to roll out mini-nuclear reactors

Planned manteinance? Half power installed under manteinance, some of them for cooling corrosion and leaks, at the same time, in the worst moment in maybe 10 years? And fearing blackouts in six months. Worst planning ever.

As soon as storage for intermitent sources is economically competitive with gas (not nuclear, it already is), nuclear as we know it is done.

I can do this too! Let me try:

As soon as we start building more NPPs thereby training a workforce for building NPPs building costs will go down 10x and renewables as we know it is done.

Nah, doesn't work the same if costs are historically rising. But cost of eolic, solar and batteries are steadilly falling.
