@IchNichtenLichten
It might have a higher initial upfront cost, but the return on investment over a plant's whole lifetime makes it one of the cheapest. And even then, they don't take long to break even.

You're linking to a pro-nuclear trade group.

Capital costs:

Nuclear: $6,695–7,547

Wind power: $1,718

Solar PV with storage: $1,748

Global levelized cost of generation (US$ per MWh):

Nuclear: 140–221

Wind: 24–75

PV: 24–96
