Where did all the 1985 nucs go? Used for reactors? Or just stored?

It’s not that complicated actually. A nuclear bomb is, extremely simplified, borderline critical uranium surrounded by explosives. Remove the explosives, and you almost have a fuel rod. So yes, nuclear energy.

Fuel rods are enriched less than 5%, bombs are over 90%.
