I think the part here would need 1-2 more sentences and explainations.
In general you can say that Nuclear is more flexible than coal or gas, but not every nuclear power plant is made for this. Here is a reference to it.
They key issue is that the grid has to balance the sudden spikes of A) the renewable energy sources as well as of the B) demand side.
So it is a question of reaction time first where Nuclear Powerplant (usually operating on the max. capacity) can drop or increase within minutes large amounts of energy. But they always have a very high minimum which they can't go below. And here comes gas primarily into the game, its also fast, and can reduce even more their output.
Coal is the least flexible at all, rising their capacity up if they run on very low output takes multiple hours.
Overall, in an addition maybe, It would be safe to say, if is very difficult to react correctly on spikes (output/demand), which leads to your key statement -> we can't shift for fun suddenly a lot of workload somewhere else.
