The problem nuclear power has had is nuclear reactors are a great tool to build materials for a nuclear bomb. If everyone accepted them then access to nuclear weapons would have been a lot easier.

Useful but not on the level of access to nukes.

That remains to be seen. Mass-produced autonomous drones could quite conceivably get similar kill counts as nukes.
