Well, private investment is a great way to avoid subsidy nonsense.
You know that there's no actual private investment in nuclear in the US.

The nuclear industry is indemnified by the taxpayers. Without thar insurance backstop, there would be no nuclear energy industry.

Taxpayers are private. They earn money and give some of it to the state.
