Yes, there have been subsidies but there are also huge costs associated with licensing and permitting (not to mention lawsuits of all sorts) to build a nuclear power plant. On the whole the costs are more than the subsidies. Uranium mining sites are not so clean compared to where I live but are clean compared to a coal mine. The real question is whether they are cleaner than the alternatives. My main point isn't that nuclear energy is perfect, just that it is an amazingly good choice to have.
