14. So does MIC = Corporatocracy?
The classical usage of MIC requires a military component:

Military–industrial complex (MIC) is a concept commonly used to refer to policy relationships between governments, national armed forces, and the industrial sector that supports them. These relationships include political approval for research, development, production, use, and support for military training, weapons, equipment, and facilities within the national defense and security policy. It is a type of iron triangle.

I think what you're referring to is the corporatocracy, the oligarchy, the plutocracy, the American modernization project for fascism. I don't see how nuclear power is essential to that project. They're doing just fine as it is, even with the moribund state of current American nuclear infrastructure.
