the claim

Nuclear power has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of about 12 grams CO2-equivalent per kilowatt-hour, similar to wind power.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that nuclear power has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of about 12 grams CO2-equivalent per kilowatt-hour, similar to wind power?

Unclear. One peer-reviewed statistical review reports mean lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions for several nuclear reactor types ranging from about 6 to 28 gCO2e/kWh, bracketing the claimed 12 gCO2e/kWh, and a reference article calls nuclear power a leading low-carbon method. Neither source addresses wind power's lifecycle emissions, so the comparison half of the claim is not covered.
