I think a some of that is because of the way nuclear has been deployed. Similar to reason the US Navy has been offered a buy 1 get one half off deal for it's air craft carriers. Using standardized designs and the same labor force to build multiples of the same thing is exponentially cheaper than doing one off designs/contracts.
There is of course a limit to this effect, for nuclear there's site specific engineering/design that has to happen which you don't have for ships.
But the savings in workforce cost can absolutely be realized in nuclear if a large enough pipeline of projects is developed which it looks like the French power company EDF is doing.
