It's entirely a matter of how much electricity (Megawatt hours or days) they deliver to the company that manages the grid system, which will pay the nuclear plant owners a rate per unit delivered. There may be penalties for not delivering when it has been agreed or scheduled, if it is due to some fault or breakdown in the plant.

How much would it cost on average to build a wind power plant?
This is not really possible to estimate as unlike coal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants which are single large facilities, wind and solar power facilities are incremental distributed facilities involving many separate small units distributed over a large area that can be built slowly over many years and brought on line individually producing usable power as soon as each such tiny unit is finished.
