That is a good step. One thing that i have found weird is that large parts of USA is remote and sparsely populated unlike say Japan, India or even mainland of China. To alleviate some of the psychological concerns would it not be possible to increase the transmission costs but site the nuclear plants in a location far from other urban centres ?
A bunch of reactors with 200 to 400 GW capacity sited remotely without urban area within 400 km might work i guess ? Off course they can be the latest generation reactors with all the advancements for safety factored in. Not sure if economies of scale can apply to nuclear like solar, but it may make sense.
