Problems with this article:
Nukes are very hard to turn On and OFF.
They are the ultimate Base Power.

And Batteries are extremally expensive.

I know, the normal approach would be to use Nuclear for base load and natural gas turbine or combined cycle natural gas turbine for variable peak load generation.
