Oddly, one may be surprised to learn how many US nuclear plants were built on property "condemned" for that purpose.
That's sort of eminent domain in reverse. Government takes from Peter and gives to Paul, and can always count on the support of Paul.

Yes, it is quite ironic. I have a family friend who still has the deed to farmland that is at the bottom of a cooling lake right now.

They would be better off giving the plant subsidies (tax breaks) rather than letting a government agency run it (in my opinion). It would be in line with the competing agendas of "green" and free market.
