It's a sign that Europeans do not think of themselves as Europeans, but rather as Belgians (or Flemish and Walloons), French, etc. I don't see that mentality much in the US, as we really are a nation, not a federation of 50 independent states. The situation in Europe would improve a few generations after member states cede most of their power to the federation, including the rights to have foreign diplomacy and to leave the EU.
Anyway, here's a map. US reactors are primarily located on the outskirts of population centers. There are a few interesting trends here, though. Check out the large number of reactors near Chicago, where the nuclear reactor was invented. There's also a disproportionate number in the South. Why do they like nuclear?
