The title is misleading. Only the fairly new and surprisingly expensive SMRs were taken into account, the much cheaper traditional nuclear power plants weren't. Which could be fine, but then don't generalise your findings across the entire nuclear landscape.

The economics of traditional plants are even worse. They're complicated to build, they take forever to throttle, they need a ridiculous amount of auxillary cooling infrastructure due to crap throttling, and their thermal efficiency is below even fossil fuels since they can't run superheated without making the reactor even more of a maintenance nightmare
