Very little of what you're talking about there matters.
What matters is that new nuclear reactors have come in grossly over budget. Who is going to buy a reactor when the vendor's promises about cost are demonstrably untrustworthy?
In contrast, new utility scale solar and wind installs typically come in within 10% of estimate.
