The listed nuclear price is $155/MWh. But that's for baseload power, which can't replace batteries. What's needed is dispatchable or on-demand power, which costs about 3x as much for gas, I have no idea how much it inflates the price for nuclear, but the answer will be "a lot".
Nuclear in 2020 doesn't make any sense. It's far cheaper to over-provision and use storage.
We should have been building nuclear like crazy over the past 40 years. Then it could have followed a similar learning curve that renewables did and it'd still make sense today.
