Energy Commission and the civilian nuclear-power industry of the late 1960s-1970s In the shadow of destruction from the atomic bombs dropped in Japan‚ many nuclear scientists were desperate to show the good nuclear energy could provide the world. Scientific guilt over creation of these destructive mega-weapons led scientists to look toward a brighter use of nuclear energy. A projected energy crisis and increase in environmental awareness combined with the nuclear scientists dreams of atomic benefits
