This is one of the latest article I have read on the subject of US nuclear power plants. npr.org There seems to be a belief there is a need. Yet the action to get an end result is lagging. I don't believe these plants in Florida are even permitted yet. Maybe the one by FPL is. It takes a long time to go through the permitting process, and following that the construction period is very long. Based in real life happenings in the oil industry, during recent years, I think these companies will find their cost estimates a tad low. The main point is that it is going to be some years down the road before nuclear power can make significant additions to the grid, in the US.
