You copied from the "Capital Costs" section of your link [0] and apparently didn't bother to read the rest of the document. You shouldn't compare energy sources based on capital costs alone. For that, your link references LCOE [1], which is essentially (total cost) / (total energy produced). Your link further has a "Global Studies" section [2], which references numerous studies that compare LCOE by power source, worldwide, and a "Regional Studies" section [3] which does the same for specific regions. If you look at the relevant sections from your own link instead of cherrypicking irrelevant data that suit your position, you'll see that nuclear isn't so clearly uncompetitive. Whether it's cost-effective or not seems fairly contentious.
