Parachronic tech doesn't help that much with fission power. It solves the waste problem by dumping it on some useless timeline, but the accident dangers are still there, as are the social or political objections.
How hard would it be to store power in some form just long enough to it to be transposed to Homeline? Conveyors full of capacitors or hydrogen or something.
Can you build a really big one-use projector or conveyor around the reactor building to get it off Homeline in an emergency?
On the other hand, one of the way to address this is to move the more energy-intensive industrial processes to another timeline where accidents are a more a financial loss and less of a danger to the public. (Metal refining, concrete production, fertilizers, etc.)
