because it doesn't make enough money. you need really smart and talented people who actually care about long term safety, efficiency, and maintenance and you need alot of them to run the plants. the skill level required also requires a high enough pay, that nuke plants basically run near zero profit for shareholders and investment bankers. any kind of short term loss of net zero profit is off the books. period. everything has to turn profits on day one or theres no point in business for them. pretty much all real qol improvements are short term losses or no profits at all, just enough revenue to maintain the business or improvement is no bueno.
