Pros-Prevents total wars (Made Cold Wars)
People will die. :P
Cons-Will assure mutual destruction if used
People will also die :P
To conlude, it' a win win
I'm adding in another thing. Nuclear bombs is what keeps us from raging war at other countries. Other countries have WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) and if we/they decide to nuke one-another then the other country will react in violence and send their own nuke to the country who originally sent the nuke. So countries who are owners of nukes don't want to be bombed, and they know if they do decide to nuke us/them then they two will be bombed.
The con side is owning nuclear weapons strikes fear into many people. Nuke destroy cites and takes many human lives. Nuclear war is feared by many people almost everyday. All most every country has a nuke and even the country with the nukes fear themselves for the possibility of causing a nuclear war.
I hoped this all helped

Nuclear weapons are extremely dangerous but there are pros and cons to the use of these weapons. The pros are that it can be the answer to terrorism as these can wipe out entire cities or countries. The cons are that these weapons are highly immoral and dangerous and the effects can last for decades.
By 'devices' do you mean nuclear weapons, or peaceful uses of nuclear power?
There are no pros or cons of nuclear fission, it simply IS. Nuclear fission is a natural phenomena that has always existed, no matter how much one likes or dislikes it.However there are pros and cons to how humans choose to use or not use nuclear fission; the technologies we choose to build with it.
Nuclear energy ! pros- causes almost no green house gasses, & pollution. cons-can cause melt downs.
Plutonium is very important for nuclear weapons and for nuclear fuels used in nuclear reactors. But plutonium is also toxic and radioactive. See the link below.
THAT I DO NOT KNOW
ProsThe are some of the strongest bombs. They can end wars.What the bomb doesn't destroy, the radiation will.ConsThey are bad for the environment. They could easily kill innocent people.They are big and heavy.
Pros for plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source Cons for plutonium: * very radioactive * very toxic * able to reach criticality
Pros for plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source Cons for plutonium: * very radioactive * very toxic * able to reach criticality
Pros: tremendously powerful, heavily impacts enemy morale Cons: nuclear fallout, extremely negative reaction by foreign countries towards the user, initiates the possibility of mutually assured destruction.
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for nuclear weapons.
Pro- Lots of energy Con- Hard to contain
