The problem with EU and nuclear is of scale, nimby and bureaucracy. If we unify and simplify the certification process, and we build lot of reactors at the same time like France did in the 70s and 80s, then cost will go down significantly, on the same level as Korea, China and Japan.
Nuclear fuel can be recycled, we need to build an EU nuclear industry with that in mind. Uranium is cheap and potentially infinite if we get it from the ocean. Ukraine has uranium deposits. Canada is also a reliable partner.
