The report with a discount rate lower than the inflation and a 40 year pay back time.
For anyone even having a slight economic understanding the writers of that report are shouting from the top of their lungs that investing in nuclear power is pure lunacy.
But shrouded in a language allowing lobbyists and blindingly biased people to cite it.
Any understanding of economy and shilling for nuclear power seems to be a very disjoint set given what we are seeing in this thread.
"Interesting" unsubstantiated opinions.
And counterfactual, as nuclear is immensely profitable and the world is investing in nuclear.
Here’s the source Cour des Comptes report validating that you are incorrect.

The world also very much is not investing in nuclear power given how it is backsliding as a % of the global energy mix with a huge number of closures looming in the close future with no replacements in sight.
Given this answer I don’t know if you are either trolling or have serious problems with delusions.
I dislike drawing conclusions so I will end this conversion with a question:
If you are not trolling, have you tried seeking help from the mental healthcare system?
Sorry, you are still incorrect.
Nuclear had a record production year in 2024, despite the German exit.
2025 is predicted to be another record year.
There are currently 60+ reactors under construction, 90+ in preparation and 170+ announced/in planning.
The future is nuclear.
