I think so, others disagree
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity

Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
Alternative source of energy beside conventional fossil fuel, nuclear power and hydro-power are Solar energy in the form of photo-voltaic cells or solar-thermal, wind energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biological derived fuels.
The main alternative source of energy that Caribbean countries is solar energy. Another alternative source of energy they could use is wind energy.
The nuclear energy obtained from uranium or plutonium is the most important alternative to fossil fuels. Oil and methane will be exhausted in less than 100 years. Wind, geothermal, solar, organic wastes etc. are useful but not serious alternative for 10 billions inhabitants.
All material uses nuclear energy.
Batteries use chemical energy to create voltage to drive current flow. They do not use nuclear energy.
There are many ways in which energy can be obtained, some of these sources could be: Solar Wind hydroelectric solar agricultural geothermal tidal nuclear :)
Alternatives are wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, tidal. But I doubt if any or all of these can replace nuclear, at least in industrial countries like the US and Europe.
