Inkai uranium mine produces about 40W/m^2 in fuel for the actively leeched land where everything is killed by the sulfuric acid and vehicle movement.

If you include the 15km buffer where you can't live or eat anything it's about 20W/m^2

Solar averages 20-50W/m^2 with current tech.

Rooftop solar uses no land. Agrivoltaics can have negative land use (adding the solar reduces the amount of land needed for the crops under it). Roughly 30m^2 of roof + 30m^s of facade or wall is sufficient for the average high income country european's final energy use.

Solar uses a strict subset of the materials needed for a nuclear plant, so land use from the uranium mining is in addition to construction.

Like every pro-nuke lie, your land use pearl clutching is the oppksite of the truth.
