Solar and wind require storage. Nuclear needs batteries too because nuclear reactors are very slow to throttle and not good at load following.

Every non fossil source except hydro requires a large build out of grid scale storage.

While nuclear plants do pair well with storage (many pumped hydro storage stations were built to pair with nuclear plants), the idea that they cannot load follow is a myth. It is simply more economical for them to run at full load since fuel cost is a very small portion of nuclear operating expenses.
