That is not correct. The NRC can and does have a direct effect on our military. See this PDF of a recent (March 2011) vote of the commission.

Effect yes, control, no, and it is why I said, I know what you mean.
Those men and women actually in control and operating reactors and working on weapons know what they are doing, and is why in the sixty plus years of reactors, we have not had anything close to a Chernobyl, or worse a nuclear accident involving weapons. May it ever be so.
That’s a vote on radium-226.
From the Wikipedia article on the US Department of Energy
he United States Department of Energy (DOE) is a Cabinet-level department of the United States government concerned with the United States’ policies regarding energy and safety in handling nuclear material. Its responsibilities include the nation’s nuclear weapons program, nuclear reactor production for the United States Navy, energy conservation, energy-related research, radioactive waste disposal, and domestic energy production. DOE also sponsors more basic and applied scientific research than any other US federal agency; most of this is funded through its system of United States Department of Energy National Laboratories.
In the United States, all nuclear weapons deployed by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) are actually on loan to DoD from the DOE/NNSA,[3] which has federal responsibility for the design, testing and production of all nuclear weapons. NNSA in turn uses contractors to carry out its responsibilities at the following government owned sites.
