People usually do not include the costs of actual insurance into those calculations. If you do you end up with much higher prices per kWh for nuclear.
Additional cost estimate in numbers per kWh
Numbers:
Germany: + 0.139€-2.36 €/kWh
Japan: + $0.22–5.78/kWh
I could not find numbers for the US, but you guys have the Price-Anderson Act that limits the liability of nuclear operators.

The German study is not undisputed, but the opposing side was funded by nuclear industry, while the original study was done by insurance providers and aligns with the Japanese results.
Neither study considered terror, or hybrid warfare as additional risks.
Given the amount of sabotage we see in Europe at the moment, premiums would probably be even higher.
