I am sure nuclear is just about the most expensive power if we are counting construction, operation, and decommissioning. But also consider that it is a firm source of power not subject to the weather. The value of a kWh is quite high when otherwise there would be none.
I suppose if you add to the the cost of a solar or wind plant the cost of a battery system to make the output 100% constant like a nuclear plant that would be a better $/kWh comparison.
