What's wrong with either of those ?

Nuclear power is the only sensible option if you believe in radical reduction of CO2
emisions from electricity generation and you want that electricity to be available for
more than a few hours a day.

Bring it on. There are some excellent French designed reactors that have been quietly
and uncontroversially (and safely) supplying 80%+ of France's electricity needs for
decades. And inexpensively too btw.

The British power reactors were an economic farce dictated originally by the need to
use them to produce plutonium for bombs and then finally by the adoption of a
'techonology too far' perhaps in the case of the AGR which was 'too clever by half'
mostly and as a result cost an utter fortune.
