That's more than fast enough. You could see it in the graphs in the document if you bothered to read it.

Note: renewables like wind and solar are orders of magnitude slower, intermittent, and actually require grid-scale storage

You don't get the fact that nuclear power requires just as much storage, right

France has this problem in a hidden way: They have to import power in the summer, because they DONT have that peak capacity, nuclear or otherwise. To provide that with nuclear, they would either need storage or increase the number of their nuclear plants, and probably like 50%.
