While all power plants have a one time carbon cost to build and decommission, there is a continuous carbon cost to mining nuclear fuel. I think that’s what GP was hinting at.

Nuclear fuel lasts so long in modern reactors that it’s kinda a silly point though.

What you need to be looking at is lifetime carbon costs per kWh, that’s the only real meaningful comparison.

A Single tank lasting long is not necessarily a good thing. It means you have to put in the effort up front. It also does not negate the cost of fuel/W
