The technologies you mentioned are not ready for prime time. A strong political push for nuclear power now will simply result in more of what you consider obsolete designs. Meanwhile, renewable energy, already quite cheap, will continue to improve by leaps and bounds. Wasting a ton of money on nuclear now would slow the pace of this progress. But since renewables are getting cheaper every year, market forces will probably make the proper choice anyways, unless lobbying gets out of hand.
