Nuclear is subsidized, but the subsidy is less then the cost of regulations that are imposed on it. OTOH regulations should be imposed on it (if not perhaps the exact current set). Oil is negatively subsidized. The targeted taxes on oil and its refined products (mostly the later) far exceed any targeted tax breaks it the industry might receive. Some other fossil fuels (or at least special examples of them if not the mass use, think of the huge subsidies per energy produced for the attempt at "clean coal") receive subsidies, but mostly (other then corner cases like "clean coal") are very viable without subsidies. Nuclear perhaps not, but with a different regulatory and legal situation (without giving up actual safety in fact probably increasing it) most likely would be.
