This is always my objection to Nuclear. Nuclear's biggest drawback is that it requires proper maintenance and a stable regulatory environment to be safe.
Our world is too political and tumultuous. You have to manage too many externalities. This is only going to get worse as our climate continues to change.
I just don't see decades long nuclear projects helping us in the short term, and the disruptions on the horizon make long term governance of them problematic.
