Some argue that civilian nuclear technology is so controversial because it has never been able to escape its link with the military, especially nuclear weapons and nuclear tests. It probably didn't help that government agencies charged with developing nuclear energy, such as the United States Atomic Energy Commission (later the Energy Research and Development Administration and then the United States Department of Energy), United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, and the French CEA all had and continue to have a dual role.
What if the agencies charged with research and development of nuclear technology had split into separate civilian and military agencies/programs, just like the space programs? Could that have dampened some of the over civilian nuclear technology, perhaps in conjunction with more openness at the civilian agencies?
