Carter was a Navy reactor officer and so familiar with the technology & physics behind fission reactors — intimate with it. Why do you suppose he chose to scr3w the entire industry like that?

Carter was one of Hyman Rickover's little sycophant butt-boys who cried for an early-out to avoid completing his obligated service.

He left the Navy before the first nuclear submarine (USS Nautilus) was ever commissioned.

I bet Adm. Rickover tightened up his selection process a tad after the Carter-early-out scenario.
