Cheap wind and solar electricity is absolutely useless if it cannot be produced on demand.
Nuclear produces electricity 24/7, independent of weather with no backup required.
The kWh costs 30 cents in Germany, but 15 cents in France.
Actually, no. Heatwaves can and did disable thermal plants in the past:

This is an problem that will only be intensified by climate change.
When the plant is not offline…
If you want it today, there's the nuclear radioisotope thermoelectric generator, in use since the 50s and used on many spacecraft.
I don't think it's a major problem with a network of nuclear plants, you can plan the fuel replacement and have a steady power supply (nationwide). You can control when the downtime happens, unlike in other power sources.
Not true.

International comparisons are useless without comparison of pricing structure. That includes for example the tax regime, fees mandated, etc.
