You give too much credit to environmentalists Tiberius. The nuclear industry invented then resisted safer, smaller, modern reactor technology. To use a Trumpism, China! China is developing LFTRs (not the old GE PWR technology). The people who killed LFTRS in the US were in the Nuclear industry (mainly because they were in love with supersized PWR reactors).
When a safer Nuclear is shot down by industry insiders due to stylistic preferences, you can understand why anti-Nuclear hysteria prevails. It's like refusing to endorse seatbelts before an audience that is afraid the car will kill them.
If you'd like to look further, I advise looking into the history of LFTRs/MSRs and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It's just a hobby of mine.
