The over-regulation courtesy of oil companies (via ill-informed environmental groups in the 70's) is a major issue.

Then for some reason* people see the Three Mile Island incident as a failure rather than the fail-safe success that it was, and seem to see it in the same light as Chernobyl which was the opposite in every way: design, process, oversight, management, leadership.

*That reason is partly informed by the dumbass movie "China Syndrome" which was outrageously wrong on how reactor safety is designed everywhere except the Soviet Union.
