Sure, if you can figure out how to shut up the anti-nuclear hysterics long enough to get it built - and not have them shut it down in response to tsunami damage to a plant half a world away.

Our air has been nice and clean since the clean air act of the 1950s - no more London Pea-Souper fogs. It also extends to power plants so our air has been pretty good.
I beg to differ. Better than in the 1950s, sure, but it's still not all that great, per random nose tests between 1990-2003.
