There are many other reasons. We believed that:

- major accidents will be very rare (if any),

- industrial breeding will become possible (in order not to be dependent on uranium reserves or suppliers),

- nuclear power was the only option (at the time there were no industrial way to exploit renewable energy)

- terrorists, war and suicidal operators were not factors,

- dumping nuclear waste in various places (even in the sea) is adequate

All this is now way more difficult to believe.
