Nuclear energy is absolutely the WRONG way to go
Daily radiation leeks, high costs to build and maintain, dependence on enriched uranium, years before actually producing anything, nuclear waste that needs maintenance and storage. All for what? to drive a turbine? which a hydrogen powered power plant can do just as well whether it be liquid or gas based hydrogen. That is energy on demand, nuclear is a dead end, the only useful use could be and should be high performance spacecraft propulsion. Hydrogen can be produced where it is readily available [Sun & Wind] and transported where it is needed. The solution is energy cooperation in the 27 EU member states but also the world, where china has achieved many impressive feats. The solutions are there, its time to get to it.
