This is a side-track and pure speculation, but I wonder if a popular recent TV show might be further putting people off nuclear energy.
And I wonder how much it has misinformed the general public
"Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."
This is 10x more true with nuclear power. And you can add malfeasance, graft, corruption, ignorance of basic science, and generally every other flaw inherent in humanity to the list.
