>Civilian nuclear plants where designed, built, and operated to reduce the costs of nuclear weapons. ARPANET was designed, built, and operated to enable the exchange of information in the face of nuclear annihilation of cities. The big famous radio dish on top of the hill behind Stanford and the signals research that went into it was placed there to look for anti-ICBM radar signals bouncing off of the moon from Russia. We are standing on a mountain of tech based on research driven by the cold war. Nuclear energy is no different.
