The break point was after Three Mile Island when the traitor Jane Fonda and her movie The China Syndrome which popularized hate of nukes.

That movie came out twelve days before TMI. The timing sucked all around.

I was working on a MS in Uranium geochemistry. After a solid and sober look around, and the fact that the Aussies had just discovered the Jabiluka deposit, I jumped ship, dropped out of grad school and went to work in the oil patch.

Oh, there were more traitors than Fonda involved. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was found from KGB records that the anti-nuclear movement in the US was started and funded by the KGB. Of course, it picked up the usual leftist "useful idiots" along the way and gained a life of its own in the wider environmental movement.
