Yes, some new nuclear technology might shift cost curves, but other sources are already cheaper.
Nuclear never had a strong fall costs that is what makes it a tougher thing because you likely need a change in technology.
There are some reasonably well understood cost evolution in technology.
Wanting to spend huge amounts of money in the hope that the economics will somehow work out is not an easy proposition when other things are already cheap.
