That's an interesting angle, one I hadn't considered. But I would also point out a couple of differences between the technologies:
- Nuclear waste doesn't go away when you drop bombs on it, but an AGI will. - You can't you use nuclear materials to contain rogue nuclear materials. An AGI could be engineered to assist in managing a situation with another AGI that has gone awry. As for dependence, so long as we don't create one enormous, monolithic AGI, and we maintain diversity of design, we can safely destroy a single haywire system without seriously affecting our way of life even if we are dependent. Even if initially a lot of AGIs have to be deactivated, eventually designs will evolve towards greater reliability.

So one can assume reaction to an AGI disaster could be the same.
