Not cost competitive with solar+batteries in many locales (less so the closer to the poles), and no learning curve, if anything a negative learning curve, nuclear never was more expensive than new nuclear.

And off course societal (and geopolitical) acceptance issues.

Its really, really, really expensive to build.

And people are (mostly irrationally) terrified of it, which matters in democracies.
