Actually, nuclear power is cheaper than wind or solar right now. Wind and particularly solar will get cheaper, but nuclear has a good deal of potential to get cheaper too. The main thing against nuclear power right now is the new found abundance of cheap natural gas thanks to hydraulic fracturing.
At present there is no prospect of unclear competing with natural gas from a fundamental cost point of view.
