EDF, who are preparing to construct Hinkley Point's planned nuclear power station, have been guaranteed a minimum strike price of £92.50/MWh. The mean wholesale price is currently around £46/MWh.
Even disregarding the risk/cost of accident cleanup, nuclear power isn't necessarily cheap or unsubsidized.
