Only if you shift the N-power's liabilities to the government or the
unsuspecting public. The US's Price-Anderson act limits damages to
~8Bill.. Most of which(95%) takes the form of a post accident levy.

Next item... Scattering these radioactive storage depots (operating
reactors) across the countryside is an easy way to insure a near
complete annihilation of the area's human population.. Dr. Strangelove
redux.

All it takes is a relatively small nuke strike to release those
accumulated stores of fission byproducts. The resulting enhanced
fallout contains a thousand times more medium/medium-long decay rate
fission byproducts.

(I.E. The ones which hang out in the food chain for long periods and
are especially dangerous to animals with long life spans.. like
humans... )
