which places have the most nuclear power?

France has a lot of nuclear power, in fact I think they're also the leader in producing reactors for international sale

Nuclear fusion power. Look up the Tokamak Reactor.

The US is the country that has the most nuclear weapons on the world. And it is always the one country that points the finger to small little no-meaning countries that even don't have the money nor the resources to build 1 bomb. And then they attack them. It is strange that the media does not open their eyes in the media-campaign of nuclear weapons in Iraq/Iran and so on. Nobody writes in the Washington Post or the New York times, that the US has more than 400 Nuclear bombs in deposit. Ready to nuke the world about 20 times. And nobody complains about that.\nAlso the fact that the US did not sign the non-atom-pact, does make it clear that it is the agressor and not the peace-keeper.

Ok well the current JET (Joint European Torus) in Culham, Oxfordshire, UK is the biggest experimental fusion reactor in the world. Although the ITER is set to overtake it in France. There are many different fusion reactions that we can use, although the most preferable one is Deuterium-Tritium because it is one of the easist to kick-start. The big advantage with fusion is its (relative) safety and phenomenal power output. The amount of useful energy which we can obtain from nuclear fusion is staggering. It does not release pollutants into the atmosphere and although there is a radioactive by-product, this is not a problem since it is easy to deal with (unlike radioactive uranium and plutonium). The major disadvantage is the cost. The current fusion project in France almost didn't happen. Both Europe and Japan wanted it on their territory, but couldn't come to a compromise. In the end Europe insisted that they take the project alone and Japan can join in if they wish! The new reactor is in the stages of being built now but it will be some time before it is operational. And in its current state it is only in an experimental stage; it is not yet in a commercial stage, and won't be for many decades. However it is the perfect solution for producing electrical energy, with huge benefits (apart from the intial cost). See weblink for more detailed information.

you are referring to "Chernobyl" which is a place in the Ukraine where there was a nuclear meltdown more than 10 years ago.

Nuclear power is a 'clean' power in that, under normal circumstances, the only emisson is steam from the reactor. However, if there is a meltdown, like the one in Russia a while ago, the effect could be very threatning.

we have them now.  submarines run on nuke power with an onboard reactor.  there are plenty of solar powered devices.  calculators come to mind.

a) forever\nb) atomic bomb - July 16th, 1945\nc) nuclear reactor -  electircity conversion 1951\nd) first nuclear power plant 1954 - Russia\n\nother than that the US navy first started using nuclear power in the 1950's on submarines as well.  I think the first patent for a nuclear reactor was in 1952.

Acknowledged: Britain, China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, United States\nUnacknowledged: Israel\nSeeking: North Korea, Iran\nAbandoned: South Africa—Constructed but then voluntarily dismantled six uranium bombs. Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine—When Soviet Union broke up, these former states possessed nuclear warheads that they have since given up

The Us has the largest stockpile of active nuclear material thus it is still the most dangerous nation there is, liable to use their nuclear arsenal if they deem it is rightious enough for their cause such as they had contemplated during the attack on Iraq. As for the world many countried now own nuclear arsenal such as France, Isreal, China, Russia, India, Pakistan and other countried deem to be developing nuclear capabilities such as North Korea and Iran.

I love nuclear power - Chernobyl was run by a bunch of resentful communists - with very little grasp of anything technological - now they have 2 heads and 12 fingers to show for it!

I like the subject of how environmentalists are hurting the environment by boycotting nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the cleanest way to produce electricity. I think they should build the plants underground. This would minimize damage if it were to go to meltdown.\n\nThe worst part of nuclear energy is the fact that if the country has nuclear energy, they have the means to produce a nuclear bomb. So we wouldn't want rouge states to use it.

The experts at NRDC estimate between 30-35 (2002 est.) with enough weapons-grade plutonium for 50-90 more nuclear weapons. \nThe website Armgeddon Online claims they have 70.

India has built a test reactor called FBTR or Fast Breeder Test Reactor designed for 40MW at the Babha Atomic Research Centre and is building a 500MW Prototype reactor at Kalpakkam near Chennai. India has large reserves of Thorium but is more likely to look at the Uranium fuel cycle for cost reasons.

I think a country floating on oil does not need to spend millions on nuclear power.\n\nI think the last countries that need to enrich uranium are countries with suicide bombers.\n\nI think things are getting out of control, seriously.

switzerland, i think. best answer:)
