There was and interesting conversation between Robert Scheer and Thomas Bass (who wrote a book on Fukshima)
I have not fully investigated the assertions from Thomas, but he posits that nuclear was never viable, it was only ever a subsidy to enable weapons, there are obviously other positive and negative outcomes from nuclear, but this seems credible from my cursory understanding.

@houba @notjustbikes I haven't listened, but i would expect nuclear to be much more competitive if all externalities are included. Yes nuclear waste is bad, but a too hot planet is pretty bad too.
