That will be a hurdle in the US; quite a few nuclear plants were

There was great weeping when Rancho Seco shut down and SMUD had to
restructure their generation capacity. That was replaced by sighs of

 Lo and behold... (or talking about the trolls, to imperfectly translate a swedish saying...) from todays mainstream news on the topic of swedish nuclear:
 "The planned new nuclear power reactors at Ringhals cannot be accommodated. In any case, not if the nature reserve on the Väröhalvön is to continue.
 

...
Sizewell nuclear power station is right next door to a major bird sanctuary (Minsmere)
It's due to have another big reactor built alongside.
You can cite that if you like... at any hearings.
