The threat posed in the series was significantly more plausible before the Chernobyl meltdown occurred a year after the series first aired. After that catastrophe, the public was sufficiently spooked on the prospect of nuclear power, and have been weary of its expansion, let alone privatization, ever since.

That being said, the climate catastrophe it foreshadows is still very much on the cards, so it wasn’t a total loss.
