If it hasn't been already said: the issue is public perception. If you ask any American in the street what they relate to nuclear power the majority will tell you: Chorynobyl. Even though anyone that's looked up anything knows that technology is leaps ahead of that disaster, that's the fear mongering that everyone jumps to.
