It doesn't help at all when intermittent renewables drive down the price of electricity to negative values. An open-cycle gas turbine* can load-follow to fill in this intermittency much more easily than either coal or nuclear power generating stations, and the capital cost of such a gas plant is a lot lower than a nuclear power station, so the major fraction of cost is the gas itself. Cheap gas doesn't help at all, but highly unstable price in the electricity market thanks to intermittency is a major contributor to this problem.

Nuclear power stations also have the additional challenge of having to deal with a xenon-poisoned core if they operate at reduced power for too long, as well as a long ramp-up time if they're powered up from full shutdown.

*much worse for CO2 emissions, btw.
