Yes. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

Nuclear has a negative learning curve: it gets more expensive over time. Solar gets (spectacularly) cheaper over time. You might not like it but that's what the built infrastructure and its invoices tell us.

I'm very interested to see if China's current nuclear power generation build out manages to climb onto the cost-learning curve.
