I was talking about nuclear energy in the more general sense; not neccesarily controlled use. Personally I find the idea of a mosquito flying through my window carrying a multi-ton-yield fusion bomb rather more scary than a nanobot running off a miniature nuclear reactor. People had previously assumed that any hostile nanobot would be limited to chemical energy levels rather than nuclear.
