> We could have handled nuclear tech in the same way we handled the internet "to spur innovation"
We did in fact, handle nuclear tech in the same way - briefly. You might not have heard of the "Atoms for Peace"[1] program launched by president Dwight Eisenhower back in 1953. It really did spur innovation (research and development of peaceful applications of nuclear physics - e.g. medical equipment).
The "Atoms for Peace" program was also directly responsible for the first nuclear reactors in Israel, Iran and Pakistan.
