No Nuke Engineer here, but it doesn’t sound right to me. Tempted to call BS on this one.

I used to live within sight of the Byron, IL nuke plant. When we moved to WI, rates went up.

Fracking has changed many things in this business, along with combined cycle technology which allows natgas to convert 50% of its energy to electric power. That is high. Efficient coal is in the 30s, nukes are in the 30s as well.
Nuke plants require hoards of highly paid people to keep them licensed and safe. A combined cycle plant probably has 5-10 persons per shift.
Low natgas prices sealed the deal.
Biggest risk: no fuel stored at the plant site.
