Agreed, but if these 2 plants are built with high publicity and everyone sees no problem for several years then the fear of nuclear will decrease. It's been over 30 years since a new reactor was built in the US, the public opinion is mostly that it's extremely dangerous citing a handful of incidents from thousands of reactors because nuclear has been demonized.
What the public doesn't know is that more people die annual from the radioactivity released from [coal] plants than have died from every nuclear plant accident combined. Then there's the massive amounts of smog produced from coal plants that seriously hamper longevity and are directly linked to millions of deaths globally of the elderly and infants, not to mention it likely causes hundreds of thousands of deaths in ordinary healthy people who've contracted a survivable case of pneumonia.
Nuclear power is necessary as a matter of life or death in western countries, and countries around the world.
