This is such a good comment and should be auto-posted to every pro-nuclear thread. I get why people want to believe in nuclear and i'd wish that we invested a lot more in development, security and scaling of this technology.... 30 years ago. Now, it's just too late and we have better viable alternatives.

One additional argument that's mostly missed: every fission reactor is only economically viable (if it is at all) when discounting the implicit state guarantee, that's necessary as no insurer will take on the risk. Adding a theoretical risk premium paid by taxpayers to the calculation, nuclear will never be competitive.
