'The numbers don’t stack up for nuclear
The CSIRO estimates the cost of 90 per cent renewables, with firming, transmission, and integration costs included, at $109 per megawatt hour. Based on South Korean costs (roughly one-third of the US and Europe), a 60-year lifespan, a 60 per cent economic utilisation rate (as per coal today), and an eight-year build time (as per the global average), nuclear would cost $200 per megawatt hour – nearly double.'

Note nuclear would never get 60% utilisation rate with 90% renewables with firming, that's just under 14.5 hrs per day every day.
Wouldn't be built in 8 years in Australia & wouldn't cost a third of UK & US build costs.
