> Long answer short: Nuclear still is cost competitive except on countries which have direct fossil reserves.

That doesn't make sense: Countries that have reserves can sell them at the exact price that countries without pay. The comparison with nuclear cannot logically be different for those two cases.

Transport costs drive up the price for non-producing buyers.

Also, producer reduce supply when they use their own product, which pushes prices up and reduces the difference in costs for the fuel (non-producers also drive up the price a when they buy, but that doesn’t help them).

I doubt either of those effects is particularly significant, but they aren’t nothing.
