I believe the biggest source of emissions for nuclear actually come from the construction phase, so getting past that, maybe. Still would be preferable to also reduce energy use so that the "better" source can be spread more efficiently.

While construction would be huge for emissions, I would guess the most emissions would come from the mining, transport, refinement, and disposal efforts for the fuel on an ongoing basis.

There's emissions for any activity, but the nuclear fuel cycle seems pretty spread out to suggest it's anything comparable to what the fossil fuel chain of fueling is like.
