Why do USA ban other countries from using nuclear power ?

The US does not ban other countries from nuclear power if we know that the country will not use their power for evil use. Like nuking other countries for no reason.

Powerful nukes like those US used in Japan cities, never.\nBut US is going to make some small nukes to use them in battles.\nThey are going to declare some calamitous battles in future.

The United States has been reducing its nuclear arsenal since signing the Moscow Treaty of 2002.  This treaty was signed by Vladimir Putin (President of Russia), and the guy you don't seem to think is doing anything, George W. Bush.  Oh, and by the way, the treaty was written, in part, by the Bush administration, which I am guessing you won't like either.\n\nHere's the problem:  as long as other nationstates have nuclear weapons, how can we completely eliminate them?  If we don't have them, the rest of the world will stop looking to us as the global super-power we are.  We would also leave ourselves vulnerable to nuclear attack.\n\nThe US has been much maligned in it current efforts to help curtail terrorizism in Iraq, but where was all the dissention during WWII, or WWI or Korea?  That's right, everyone kept their mouths shut because they knew we were neccessary to help stop the spread of tyranny and murder.\n\nLet me ask you this:  if the US had engaged in WWII earlier, would lives have been saved?  You bet your butt they would have been.  This is what we are doing in the war on terrorism.  We are taking the fight to them before they can (again) take the fight to others.\n\nSlam the US and the President all you want but He and we are necessary, and if we don't do it, no one else will.  I guess this is the price you pay for trying to help.

Why should we tell Iran what to do.\nWe should just leave them alone.\nIt's there choice to decide what to use nuclear power for.

It's called non-proliferation, and it's a good thing.  We don't WANT every nation to have nukes.  It would be BAD. That's like having 10 kids in a room and one has a gun.  Chances are, he won't use it unless he has to.  Now, picture all 20 with guns.  Chances are, one of them is gonna go off half cocked.  Especially with all the fanatics in the world.\nGet it???

Really the only things people don't like about nuclear power are the issues of the nuclear waste and where to place it. It is also rather expensive, but it is much safer than most people believe. Many people do not want nuclear power around them because they fear the radiation or the possibility of a meltdown. When a lot of people hear the words nuclear, atomic, or reaction, the first thing that comes to mind is a bomb. Of course, the reaction in the plant works in the same way (nuclear fission), but it is safely contained, and the barrels of waste are removed from the site and unforunately, slowly decay over the course of thousands of years.

iran's nuclear power is just something america uses as an excuse to attack them and overtake their natural resources, by accident - it's oil\n\nwhat makes US China, India and Israel better so they can have it and others can't, besides america is the only one who used it till now and they still do, they use it all the time, light  type - and the victims are everybody who is where american soldiers have actions and themselves too, do you know that over 100 000 Desert Storm Veterans have leukemia and similar diseases\n\n(bosnia and herzegovina)\n\n\nYou americans live in great ignorance (most) thinking you're kind of good force fighting against evil like in your movies \nthe true is mostly inverse\n\nWhy dont you stop genocides all over the world - because those poor people don't have oil, why didn't you stop the war here 15 years ago? because there was no interest

The rest of the world is willing to let Iran have nuclear power; that's not the problem.  The problem is that Iran has proven itself to be a rogue nation that produces and harbors terrorists.  The blatant hatred that Iran has for anything Western is reason enough to doubt its motives when it comes to the development of nuclear energy.  As I said, the rest of the world is willing to allow Iran to have nuclear power, provided that it is willing to allow UN inspectors access to verify that Iran's motives and capabilities are peaceful.  Iran is unwilling to allow this. That's why the rest of the world is skeptical of Iran.

Yes, Seneca said that.  Interesting that you would quote him. Do you know what his point was in saying "Be careful that your enemies dont get your weapons"?  Sounds a lot like that quote is very much in support of limiting nuclear proliferation Would it be best if nobody had nukes?  In the 50 years before nuclear weapons were invented, over 100 million people were killed in wars.  And in the 60+ years since, is that true?  If the US destroyed all of it's nuclear weapons, do you seriously believe this would end the problem?  That countries like North Korea and Iran would generously quite trying to build them?  The US, along with the EU, is trying to stop other countries from building nuclear weapons.  Are you trying to say that because the US, France, and the UK, among others, have nuclear weapons, that they should not try to stop proliferation?  Are you saying that the US and those other countries should get rid of their nuclear weapons, and thus would miraculously cause everyone else to stop building them?  Think about it-the US is hated by many powerful countries.  If the US got rid of their nuclear weapons, would that tend to make those countries more eager, or less, to build a weapon that, once the US had none, could aid these other countries in actually defeating the US on a battlefield?  Think through your argument- The US having nuclear weapons may be a problem, but it is unrelated to nuclear proliferation.  And, the US is not leading the battle to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, the EU is.

Nuclear energy was originally designed to kill. It got the USA out of WW11 sooner than most expected. It has been killing ever since. Did you know we have not built a new Nuclear Power Plant in app. 30 yrs. why? It's a detrement to society. Do you want a Nuclear Waste Storage Facility in your backyard? No, of course not. Iran for that matter I believe NO Country should be allowed to ever build anything again that creates Radioactive Waste. Did you know your Microwave is Radioactive? Try taking one to the scrapyard. Most scrapyards have Geiger Counters in place now days. Why can't we all ride the green wave? Solar,Wind,Wave Action. To most people it's still a novelty but one day it will be common-place if we can keep the powers that be from destroying this Planet we call Home.Think GREEN! Peace to all.

I totally agree with you. Why can the US have nuclear bombs and wmd and we do have them. Why cant other countries. Its none of our business. Read the constitution we are not to go to war with any other country unless that country attacks us. But what do we do we invade countries that have disputes with other countries and stick our big fat noses into everything. No wonder America is a HATED country.

That's a misconception.  As much as I dislike the current US government, I must say that they do not resist nuclear power in Iran.  They, along with most other democratic governments, do not approve of the type of reactors that Iran is building.  \n\nIran is developing "breeder" reactors and  making enriched uranium, whose only "reasonable" application is weaponry.  If Iran were truly interested in nuclear reactors for domestic power there are a number of different designs that are cheaper and more efficient, and don't create weapons.

They extract the heat from the nuclear reaction instead of burning fuel.\nThey don't have emissions.\nThey have higher safety and security measures.

USA & Israel are one power in two countries!\nThey don't want any power except them.\nIran and too many times has told the world that they don't want the nuclear factories for weapons or war, but for other peaceful things such as electric generation.\nReferring to what Mr. “devilmoor86” said I want to tell that nobody will threaten USA and nobody wants to kill USA’s people, I think U.S.A is killing people in Iraq & other countries… why? Of course not for peace!! For Oil & other economical resources.\nNote: also I want to tell that too many Americans are dieing in Iraq, why??!!\nWhy war?\nWhy killing human?\n{answer me & win points ;)}

Since we get more than half of our electricity from coal, that's an unlikely goal.  We are trying to find ways of burning coal more cleanly.\n\nNuclear power is a clean alternative to coal, but fears of a disaster have prevented any nuclear power plant from being built in the US for many years.

Tfhe US government does not want any new nations to have nuclear capabilities.  Especially ones that are agressive and terroristic.  I say this because the Iran Government has already stated that Isreal has no right to exist and needs to be eradicated.

It's ridiculous that one country would assume it has the right to tell another country not to produce or have the same weapons it has. I don't understand why any of the people concerned are so stupid: I mean, if anyone ever did decide to deploy nuclear weapons, we'd ALL die...
