they mean the cost of the nuclear plants (construction, decommissioning, waste-storage and security) not the price of the electricity

  That's nonsensical, the cost of the nuclear plant is capital investment which is included in the price of the electricity. If the country needed it due to "the cost of the nuclear plant" it would raise its prices (again electricity prices in France are lower than in every single one of its neighbours, to which the country generally exports electricity incidentally).

    It's not easy to estimate the cost of decommissioning and waste storage over very long periods, so it is very possible that those cost are far from reflected in the current prices, by mistake or for political reasons.
