The following submission statement was provided by /u/EnergyTransitionNews:

This article analyses the history of nuclear power programs in every state that has them. The author found that historically only 12-15% of nuclear power programs were not part of a weapons program and makes the case that the innate ability of nuclear power to enable proliferation will slow its growth compared to renewable energy. The authors find that there are numerous examples of countries who slow down or cease power reactor programs after abandoning a weapons program. Civil power reactor programs have provided cover for weapons programs, for training personnel, and obtaining materials for weapons and there are some cases of weapons grade material being produced in civil power reactors.

The conclusion is reached that geopolitical concerns will inherently limit nuclear power compared to renewables.
