Nuclear has few advantages over solar.

Solar + batteries.

Image from this article

~$1000/kW vs $6 - 10,000/kW in 2018, it is cheaper today; projected costs to drop to as low as $560/kW in 2050.

Add in the ~$150/kWh of grid scale storage with the associated switchgear to connect it to the grid.

For a 10MW + 20MWh solar system; you are looking at approx $13,000,000 + install costs of probably $2-3,000,000.
