Yes, 104 operating nuclear reactors at last count
In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
The bombs used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were both fission bombs, not fusion bombs.
Fission.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
Both are used.

Fission is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity, providing a reliable source of energy with minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Fusion, while not yet commercially viable, has the potential to provide a nearly limitless and clean energy source in the future, as it produces no long-lived radioactive waste and uses abundant fuel sources.
