Positives about nuclear energy?
Using nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, it is technically possible to fulfill the ancient alchemist's infamous objective of turning lead into gold. This is because an element that undergoes a nuclear transformation is actually completely transformed into a whole new element, though it isn't commercially feasible to produce gold from nuclear processes. The Nuclear Club, the group of nine countries that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons, includes: United States (est 4,750 - 5,535 warheads), Russia (est 5,200 - 8,800 warheads), the United Kingdom (est 200 warheads), France (est 350 warheads), China (est 400 warheads), India (est 140 warheads), Pakistan (est 60 warheads), North Korea (est 5 warheads), and Israel (est 150 warheads). Only the first five members on this list are part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!!! LOVE CAITLIN JORDAN :)))
What government agency regulates nuclear power plants?
The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) regulates nuclear power plants in the US.
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former

How many nukes does the world have in total?
The word "nuke" can mean a nuclear power plant or a nuclear weapon.As of January 2013, there are 437 nuclear power plants in operation in the world.Because countries with nuclear weapons are secretive about how many they have, the exact number of nuclear weapons is not known. The Federation of American Scientists estimates there are more than 17,000 nuclear warheads in the world as of 2012.
