Nuclear is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is profitable. No country, not Russia, China, Japan, France etc has ever made it profitable. It is always subsidized.
Profitability means nothing for a common good. Nuclear has many unique characteristics that make it a better choice, especially in colder environments. People need energy.
People also need to use energy more efficiently, not just increasing it's usage mindlessly.
Water purification is not profitable either.
So? If you charged per ton of CO2 that was produced with fossil fuels and also didn't subsidize their extraction they wouldn't be profitable either? Neither would Air Travel. So what's your point?
Point is we don't have a way to safely store nuclear waste. Just research it a bit deeper.
Additionally there is just no reason to use nuclear, when we have enough renewables and our disposal.
