In nuclear, there are many myths like "decomissioning costs are covered" or "we know how to store the waste". And there are some blatant truths like "risks like that cannot be insured against". But that's usually just accepted as a given so I guess it's fine if the article doesn't mention that one.
I think the biggest myth in the article is the one where they assume that it will have to be either fission or coal burning, pick one.
