Hmm, not sure what storage solution you're thinking of? Is there a nuclear-specific means of storing the energy produced for later use?
What I mean to say is: nuclear power is so cheap that you could use it to power carbon recapture, even at the current cost. There are even people working on using direct air capture to create ultra-dense fuel, e.g. http://carbonengineering.com/ . This is surely very inefficient (lots of energy required to recapture a small amount of fuel), but if we powered it using a nuclear plant's off-peak energy, it's effectively a liquid battery.

The fissile material itself.
Nuclear power is dispatchable to a point, and I don't think its as cheap as you seem to think it is. The scheme might be worth it for producing jet fuel etc, but using fission to generate electricity to generate fuel for short term storage for a generator? Unless it is really efficient, no.
Combined with renewables which aren't dispatchable at all, more likely, but not where I would put my money.
