Estimates for new stations show nuclear generating costs to be similar to new fossil fuel plants, and cheaper then wind or solar. See the paper linked below for detailed analysis.

Nuclear power plants are capital intensive power plants and hence it is more economic to operate them at high capacity factors (or as base load plants)

The US became an industrial giant equipped with nuclear power.
is economic imbalance is better than nuclear imbalance
