Excellent explanation. I could add, typical Thermal Electric Station (Gas or Coal) could have significantly larger working temperature than Nuclear, because more strict safety measures for Nuclear on nearly same level technologies.
For example, Nuc typically don't cross 400C, when Gas/Coal could work on 450C or even more.
Plus, non-Nuc could use some more exotic technologies, like MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) generator, to provide much more efficiency of power generation, or CO2 turbine to make installation much smaller.
(Theoretically, somebody could build Nuclear MHD device, but it will not pass safety restrictions).
