They are thinking with their head
The biggest source of debate associated with nuclear power is the issue of safety. Critics argue that accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima demonstrate the risks involved with nuclear power, while proponents highlight improved safety measures in newer reactor designs and the potential for low-carbon electricity generation. The ongoing debate revolves around whether the benefits of nuclear power, such as its low carbon emissions and high energy efficiency, outweigh the potential risks.
Nuclear Power can be used in any weather conditions
The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) regulates nuclear power plants in the US.

Because the Government and the people don't want it
Governments in many countries (but not all) support nuclear power because it is a useful technology for producing power, but it needs to be well controlled because of the inherent dangers. Therefore there has to be licensing of power plants and the licensing authority is always government supported.
The issue of separation of powers is what divided the two parties during the debate over the constitution.
Most democratic countries feared that if communist nations had nuclear power, they would have the power to overthrow any democratic government and create a new one world communist government.
The Indian government announced it had carried out a series of underground nuclear tests on May 10, 1998.
I doubt if New Zealand knew anything about nuclear weapons in 1944, possibly at the highest level of government but the general public knew nothing.
If you have a group of people together, start off by saying how much you approve of nuclear power, how much it benefits the earth, and how it should be expanded. This should provoke some discussion.
if its has the will power,support of its citizens and a smooth running government then it will succeed and become an inspiring nation and as well as a super power nation
