The world is moving away from nuclear. The last nuke plant under construction in the US will likely be cancelled before it's completed and no new plants are being built. Several countries have agreed to phase out nuclear entirely. Even China isn't building them at the rate they claimed.
The industry promised a "nuclear renaissance" several years which never materialized and it kills them that they can't sell people new plants, so they commission puff pieces like that ignore the big reasons nuclear is going away: unsolved waste problem; risk of catastrophic accidents; costs out of control; uneconomic to operate; uninsurable; incredibly expensive to decommission.
