How much money did the government put into those reactors?  How much do 
individual rate payers pay for electrical use?  In France cooking is mostly 
by gaz from containers purchased at a local store.

Another important point is that they use a different technology.  In the US 
nuclear technology is in many ways controlled by the Navy.  All our 
reactors are the same technology used in Navy ships.  Cheaper technologies 
are being investigated but most are built elswhere.
