How much land needs to be paved over with windmills to equal the power output of one nuclear plant?

A handful of square meters per windmill, unless it's off shore and then it's none (as in no land). You realize windmills for energy production dots the Danish landscape, placed in handfuls in the middle of farms, right?
Yeah, but Denmark has a population of 5.5 million people and ample land for them and windmills.
