I believe it is way before Fukushima, don't forget Chernobyl and Three Mile Islands. Chernobyl is fresh on a lot of people minds back then because of how disastrously it is. It took years to get people to start to be comfortable with nuclear plants after series of regulations and safeguards to ensure maximum safety to avoid another Chernobyl. Until Fukushima fked it up for everyone else. It is not because people don't want another Fukushima, it is because people don't want another Chernobyl and its severe fallout spread to Europe and Asia. Also it didn't help when the government, USSR, tried to keep it a secret from the rest of the world and refused to take responsibilities. I don't blame the citizen for not trusting the governments when it come to nuclear power plants due to those disaster events.
