What explains the position of those who oppose expanding nuclear power plants in the US?

Some opposition to the expansion of nuclear power plants in the US is generated by those who produce power by other means such as coal, oil, and gas. But the major opposition comes from the part of the population that has a somewhat exaggerated fear of nuclear power plants. Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima loom large as nuclear disasters. All three situations were the result of poor design and construction.

How the effects of nuclear charge and the increasing number of core electrons in an atom oppose each other?
The increasing number of core electrons serve to "shield" the outer electrons from the positive charges in the nucleus. Thus, the effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is reduced.

Is Nuclear Energy technology widely accepted today?
Yes, most advanced countries are either building nuclear or considering it, but there are always groups who oppose it as well, so it depends what you mean by 'widely'
Is nuclear energy good for the enviornment?
It is a ... mixed blessing. It won't produce carbon dioxide, and thus it should reduce global heating. However, there is currently no safe way to get rid of the nuclear wastes, which are also quite dangerous. I believe ecologists normally oppose nuclear energy, for this reason.It is a ... mixed blessing. It won't produce carbon dioxide, and thus it should reduce global heating.

Why aren't there more nuclear power plants?
The reason is that there are many people around the world who are uneducated in the nuclear power field and therefore still assume the stereotypical nuclear meltdown or mutations will occur and as such, oppose their construction vehemently. Also, it is quite expensive to develop and build such plants.

Why does Mexico oppose nuclear weapons?
It is a dangerous technology that could wipe out the majority of the world's population in a couple of hours. Besides, Mexico does not have any enemies, thus by banning nuclear weapons on its soil, Mexico has a moral advantage in case it is attacked by a nuclear power (i.e. it would be considered an atrocity, forcing many nations to side up towards Mexico in case of a nuclear attack).
