It’s literally one of the cheapest per KWh and is getting cheaper. Everyone who is familiar with the nuclear industry knows that “safe disposal” is a literal non issue that gets talked about a lot. In fact waste is so small that in the US all high level waste is stored on site. And nuclear power is not subsidized.
The only real issue with modern reactors is initial cost, building the plant is really expensive due to regulations (no I’m not saying de-regulate). Yes they need to be maintained but so does everything, and when maintained they outlive any current form of energy.

Oh, then I guess every single assessment released in Europe was wrong because of different storage procedures in the US.
