One point I think some people are overlooking are the military implications of launching nuclear facilities. These become prime targets in times of conflict that can cause a ton of damage if successfully attacked. Maybe that is part of the reason countries are hesitant to build them?

As opposed to a nuclear explosion delivered by an ICBM?

I think the issue is that a small country or simply a terrorist organization that doesn't have ICBM capabilities could still conceivable cause a nuclear disaster through a lower tech attack on a nuclear facility.
