Nuclear is bad capital allocation. The reasons nuclear is expensive are very very difficult to overcome, whereas if you can make a solar cell cheaper, solar gets cheaper. Nuclear operating expenses, nuclear safety and security expenses, and decommissioning expenses constitute multiple difficult problems none with straightforward solutions.
That's the thing about capital allocation: you can reduce risk as much or more by buying batteries and more solar panels, and you can get it next week at a reliable price.
Nuclear is expensive because of risk, and a lot of that risk is just project risk. Nuclear doesn't get built on time or on budget because project management so often goes sideways. It's not the permits or the protesters.]
