Greenpeace is both halves of the name.

While I agree that nuclear is green, IMO Greenpeace are correct about it not being compatible with the "peace" half: the stuff that makes working reactors is the most difficult part of making a working weapons.

This also means that during the cold war they suspected of being soviet plants.

Those suspicions and yours could both be correct for all I know.

Also nuclear requires a powerful state to manage it safely, which has peace-related side effects.

Are you considering a world in which nuclear weapons do not exist at all?

I don't know how you are going to disarm the current stable-state of mutually assured destruction.

No but every nuclear power plant requires local military defenses, and every country that expands nuclear power requires this state power even if they don’t have nuclear weapons.

This is true. I have no counterpoint.
