  I've found this reference that seems good:

  https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspects/economics-of-nuclear-power

  There's certainly more, but I'm not nuclear powered and don't have the mental energy for online debate 😁

    You’re linking to a pro-nuclear trade group.

    Capital costs:

    Nuclear: $6,695–7,547 Wind power: $1,718 Solar PV with storage: $1,748

    Global levelized cost of generation (US$ per MWh):

    Nuclear: 140–221 Wind: 24–75 PV: 24–96

      It looked suspiciously biased. I'm going to research more.
