Do you  think that a utility would not build any plant
because of anti-nuclear  protest? 


My recollection could be wrong, but I believe this is precisely why the  
Rancho Seco plant near Sacramento was never fully operational.  I believe  it was 
fueled and went through low-power testing, but the anti-nuclear  contingency 
in California prevented its full operation.
 
I would not underestimate the political power of those opposed to nuclear  
power generation, and by extension all things radioactive.
