Except I'm not sure about cooling water, but in principle I have absolutely no problem if reactors were put anywhere that's appropriate for a large industrial facility. Modern nuclear power plants are ridiculously safe, only a completely irrational and uninformed person (of which there are plenty) could be the remotest bit concerned about risks of an accident. They essentially don't happen. Please don't quote chernobyl back at me (or rather, feel free to, if you want to talk complete irrelevancies).

Civil liberties lawyers and economists do not a strong social force make – they exercise influence in other ways, but don’t provide the building blocks for a strong political party.
