It doesn’t produce any greenhouse gas emissions.
That’s simply wrong. All energy sources produce emissions! Some produce more, some less.
While nuclear energy is better than coal, gas or oil, it is by far worse than wind or hydro energy.
There are several studies estimating the greenhouse gas emissions for the whole lifecycle of a nuclear power plant between 68 and 180 grams of CO2/kWh. source: Nuclear energy - The solution to climate change?

Nuclear power is often assumed to be greenhouse gas neutral because it is indeed nearly neutral if it comes to the process of generating energy. But resources like uranium has to be gathered, plants has to be built, and it needs a solution for the final disposal.
While I don’t think we should close existing power plants, but there are much better solutions. Better in terms of economy and pollution.
There are also numerous studies about the costs of a nuclear power plant…
That makes absolutely no sense 😅
