> tl;dr - as I said before, you technically can do it but it's absurdly expensive and just not worth it.
And, of course, have sources for this?

Additional Costs for Load-following Nuclear Power Plants. Experiences from Swedish, Finnish, German, and French nuclear power plants
The conclusion from this report is that with a well-prepared load-following, there are very few additional costs...
It is concluded that if the load-following is planned and the regulation is done within determined levels specific for the plant there is no hindrance or addi- tional costs for load-following.
<Summarising: the actual cost is minimal, but may affect the resulting MWh price because nuclear power plants have high fixed costs and low variable costs.>
