The issue is that even if we take care of the waste, nuclear power can't scale in output in less than three days because of safety procedures.

So it will push the real renewable energies off the net, and we'll need gas turbines to handle day to day fluctuations.

That's entirely untrue. Nuclear power plant designs used in France (and I think Germany?) participate in load following and can do so between 30-100% capacity at around 5%/min.
