I worked in the nuclear industry in the US. No, it won't be back here for decades, if not a century, if ever. Insurance, financing, and NIMBYs. They're essentially intractable problems that make it cost-ineffective when NG and renewables are cheaper. Why sink billions into something that doesn't have a clear ROI?

not even if we have nuclear plants that can degrade gracefully and could never meltdown? didn't bill gates built one recently somewhere? using some sodium slurry as coolant etc.
