Do you  think that a utility would not build any plant

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.
