If there is a will, there is a way. The US invented the nuclear bomb in just a few years with the Manhattan project.

The biggest obstacle has been the anti-science FUD spread largely by environmental groups.

No, the biggest obstacles has been the gross economic failure of nuclear. The claims it would be cheap were always lies, although the boosters increasingly desperately blame anyone else they can.
