https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspects/economics-of-nuclear-power
There's certainly more, but I'm not nuclear powered and don't have the mental energy for online debate ๐

Capital costs:
Nuclear: $6,695โ7,547
Wind power: $1,718
Solar PV with storage: $1,748
Global levelized cost of generation (US$ per MWh):
Nuclear: 140โ221
Wind: 24โ75
PV: 24โ96
