Almost nothing human technology does is "CO2 Neutral".
The question isn't CO2 neutrality, but "How much worse is the alternative". And when the alternative is to burn Coal, Oil and Gas, Nuclear power wins by a landslide.
Secondly:
Fossil Fuels have to be mined, transported and stored as well. The components of Wind and Solar energy farms have to be constructed from resources which have to be mined and processed. Power plants, be they coal, nuclear, solar, whatever, need to be constructed and maintained.
