Finland recently had to offline 14% of it's national electricity production due to a single incident. Not only is that unreliable, the effects of the lack of reliability are much worse than with any other power source.
Nuclear only exists in the first place due to political decisions. It's massively unprofitable if you actually include all costs even at current inflated electricity prices.
Why not build gas and battery storage for renewables instead? It would be better by every measure, including cheaper, faster to build, safer, and more reliable (due to being distributed).
