If you account for waste disposal it becomes prohibitively expensive. In 2016 the largest German utilities agreed to pay €23.6bln so that it would be the government's problem to deal with the waste: https://www.dw.com/en/german-government-does-nuclear-waste-deal-with-energy-companies/a-36089376 https://www.dw.com/en/german-government-does-nuclear-waste-d... Decommissioning all the (23) plants still active in 2016 will eventually cost another €24bln. All in all €2bln per plant. And this is just the lower bound. It's hard to tell how much safely storing this waste will cost over the next several decades. I remember this from my German lessons in school. Managing radioactive waste is simply too troublesome.
