> Nuclear power does not produce cheap, emission-free and reliable electricity

Fixed that for you. Nukes produce the most expensive electricity of all. Always have, counting subsidies. Their value proposition gets even worse each day, as renewables cost continues on down. They will be mothballed soon as too expensive to continue operating at all, as people choose to buy cheaper power elsewhere.

As the amount of time they can find a market for power declines, their cost per delivered KWh multiplies without bound.
