Broadly speaking you do it where the old nuclear power stations were 
built, that still have gigawatt grid connections... But its no more 
intrusive than a gas powered station so any large industrial estate is 
suitable. 'Brown field' is the idea. Old coal and nuclear become new 
nuclear.

The government drove a coach and horses  through planning law with wind 
farm development. They can do the same for nuclear if the political will 
is there.

Once the electorate are clamouring for it, it suddenly seems easy to do 
to get re-elected...

People in the UK have had nukes in their back yards for 40 years or 
more. No one minds.

I was walking on a beach and passed some people and got chatting 'do you 
know what that is?' they asked. 'That's Britain's biggest and newest 
nuclear power station'. 'oh..'..was all they said.

The NIMBYs are not NIMBYs at all  - they are carefully orchestrated, 
fully paid up, probably by Russia or other gas interests, climate and 
energy activists. Bussed in from big cities.
