This is a very good point. In my particular apartment complex, we have over 400 units, across about 8 buildings. Each building has its own water boiler to supply the apartments with hot water. This centralized water heating provides a nice steady stream of hot water to each apartment, and you don't need to worry about a localized in-unit heater running out.
People's fear of nuclear power is way out of hand. I studied the Chernobyl incident rather thoroughly. The main cause of that was human error. They did something VERY stupid as a test, and disengaged the safety protocols. I would personally much rather live near a well built nuclear reactor than any other type of power plant.
The real problem here is nuclear misinformation. Things like Pebble Bed Reactors have very very little chance of meltdown, and especially low chance of leaking any radioactive material.
All in all, it sounds like a fantastic idea to me!
