The slowdown in the expansion of nuclear power in the 1980s can be attributed to various factors, including increased public concerns about nuclear safety following incidents like the Three Mile Island accident in 1979, rising costs of nuclear plant construction, regulatory hurdles, and the availability of alternative energy sources like natural gas. These factors combined to make the economics and public perception of nuclear power less favorable, leading to a decrease in new nuclear plant construction during that time.
