The only way nuclear will come back is serious practical next generation reactors. We could have built these since the 70s and didn't. Rather waste money on fusion and renewables.
Based on first principles, nuclear is the cheapest. Its historical path dependency that it isn't.
Fission breeder reactors have the potential to use the least amount of land, be the safest form of energy, have the lowest cost of fuel (essentially free)and use the least amount of total resources (steel, concrete and so on).
These could be used for all kinds of applications, including creating of medical isotopes, nuclear batteries, industrial heat and power.
Non if this is new, these insights are from the 70s and in 50-100 years people will look back and ask 'why were these people don't doing it? They had all the technology, it makes no sense'.
