Yes, about 15%
20% of the worlds power is generated by nuclear power
UK should have nuclear power as it provides sustainability. It also prevents UK from using too much fossil fuel.
The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.

Yes, power stations in the UK use coal, oil, gas, and nuclear energy sources to generate electricity. Each energy source has its pros and cons in terms of cost, environmental impact, and reliability. The UK is also investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
As of 2011, the UK produces about 19% of its power (roughly 10 GW) via nuclear means. Using the above metric that nuclear plants produce about 10 GigaWatts, that means the total yearly energy production of the those plants is about 87,600 GigaWatt-hours, or 315.36 TeraJoules.

Yes, both in power generation and weapons.
The commercial use of nuclear power began in the 1950's
