How much time will it take for us to fully convert to nuclear power from fossil fuel?

We will almost certainly not convert fully to nuclear power. What we will most likely have in the future is a mix of power sources, just as we have today, but with a decreased emphasis on fossil fuel.
Every power source has its costs and its problems, in addition to its benefits. Like all the others, nuclear power has its problems, just like any other. We do not have a good way to manage the waste. And nuclear fuel will eventually run out.
The solution is not easy, from our current point of view. There is good hope that we will be able to provide for ourselves, but a schedule cannot be produced.
