Can confirm, we get negative spot prices sometimes. In Australia they have negative spot prices during the daily solar panel peak.
In New Zealand we use geothermal, rather than nuclear for the base load electricity.
Our geothermal plants produce about 20% of our electricity.
You could build geothermal plants in most countries that have hot springs or volcanoes.

FYI, depleted uranium is just uranium with most of the U-235 spent. That would be much easier to acquire/create than the enriched uranium that most reactors use.
But the only current certified design (from NuScale) uses normal enriched uranium anyways.
