It's not just a PR problem, though. It's a cost structure problem, and a grid problem. On the cost front, they're tremendously expensive. New tech and manufacturing processes might get the cost from the billions to the millions, but it's still very expensive. On the grid front, nuclear is good for baseline, but not peak load. Most nuclear reactors can't just be flipped on and off with a switch, or even scale power quickly... they're more or less constant. So you still need a peak load system, which currently consists of gas plants - very expensive, since they're intermittent and offline most of the time.
