I've always wondered if being forced to live near the plants would change regulators minds. There are plants throughout the country, so if you want any say in safety regulations you'd have to live within 1km of the start of the safety zone.

Probably wouldn't change anything because the regulators likely actually understand nuclear power plants and what the particular failures mean for the overall safety of a plant, at least far better than the average lay person does.
