As an example of nuclear power subsides through cheap government money, the Connecticut authorities want to pay out the cheap bonds that were provided to the nuclear power station operators by imposing a tax (which will properly represent the financing costs).
The response from the operator is: "One would be that rates would go up due to the fact that the higher cost would be passed on to the consumers through higher electric rates," he said. "Or the plant would become uneconomic to operate and it would be forced into closure, following which electric rates would increase as well."
It seems that even the operators admit that nuclear power is not economic unless subsides are provided. see http://www.ctmirror.org/story/12218/millstone-lawmakers-oppose-generation-tax
