I think they might have created this problem because it is probably hard for politicians and corporations bribing them to extract value by building new nuclear power plants.

First of all, it requires competence. You can't really accept bribes by allowing low quality equipments in the nuclear power plants because if they fail, you'll never get elected again. Why take such a risk when you buy Russian oil which requires a lot more moving parts where you can extract value?

And of course the incumbents that are already rich because of oil based products also bribe govts to lean towards oil.

Nuclear energy is pure. Energy is generated and goes into the grid. The govts lose some leverage if they go full nuclear.
