IMHO, I think there are still enough people who remember the horrors of 3 Mile Island, and especially the 24/7 coverage of Chernobyl, that they have an almost pathological fear of nuclear power in any form. Remember, it is a fact that when people have such fears, they persist even in the face of genuine statistics. Example, there are people who actually believe their changes of being killed are much greater in a plane than in an automobile, or in their own bathtub. Facts, statistical data, absolutely nothing would change their minds.
