Specifically on Nuclear Energy, Roger Berthoud's biography of Moore has a section on this sculpture, which IIRC has comments both on the history of the sculpture not yet covered in the article, and on the reception of the work. I think that basing the structure of the article off of that of recognised sculpture articles is a good plan.
