It is primal fear. A person bitten by shark would get more coverage and generate more fear than a person dying in car crash.

In case of nuclear accident, the worst case sweeps, pervades and persists for some time in the fertile human minds (phew we dodged a bullet, else entire state would have been glassed over and the new generation would be born with 3 boobies and 4 titties) - hence the sell off. Since that irrationality lingers longer, the decision to move away from nuclear power starts taking hold.

Personally, I have been a proponent of nuke energy till recently. Now I am somewhat ambivalent.
