The strongest argument in favor of nuclear seems to be that it sounds futuristic and it's what we grew up believing would be the future of energy.
However in practice it has never turned out to be that great. There's little to recommend it: it requires massive amounts of labor, double checking high skill welds, documentation, and nobody in the industry seems the least bit interested in making this an efficiency process.
Nuclear rockets sound cool. Nuclear electricity plants are pretty awful in practice.
Batteries are about 1000x more useful on the grid than nuclear, it will greatly enhance reliability as they are super scalable and have the potential to massively increase the efficiency of grid transmission and distribution, the most expensive part of electricity for most. Nuclear has none of those benefits.
