So, the same as nuclear, wind, solar, gas, and coal, all of which which largely don’t work without significant government support.

Does nuclear need large amounts of government support? I was under the impression that it was much cheaper on the margin than other forms of electricity. I can easily imagine the needed support for the initial cost to build.

Does storage of used fuel rods need government support too? Or are those calculated in the cost and the market can bear it?
