The construction and decommissioning of nuclear has an exceedingly negligible carbon footprint relative to its lifetime energy generation. The same criticisms apply to wind and solar as well, they’re also energy intensive to manufacture, transport and install. Besides, in a world with a surplus of nuclear energy, much of the plant construction and mining could be performed using nuclear generated electricity rather than burning diesel.
