Without states colluding to keep nuclear technology under tight control, what happens with nuclear energy?
Most people will jump on the notion of small groups developing nuclear weapons and doing terrible things with them, but I think a far greater threat is from the nature of fission reactors to utterly fuck you and everybody around you if you don't treat them with the utmost care and skill.
What is to replace the state, as a means of controlling complex technology, that can provide the level of safety required to employ nuclear power without killing people on purpose or by accident? If you think nuclear power has no place in an anarchist society, how do you propose to stop people without a state?
