As someone currently working in the nuclear industry, I can comment that the pervasive bureaucratic fog of war adds a level of mental overhead that means you really have to challenge yourself to still get decent thoughts converted to action by the end of the day.

If I leave this industry I feel like my over-exercised skill of juggling this mental overhead will be pretty useful in places where the burden is lower. I'll feel like I have an extra brain just laying around in reserve.

A bureaucracy whose elected representatives and lobbyists that generally don't like your agency and would be more than happy to see it all but shut down.
