Some countries with nuclear power plants include the United States, France, China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea. These countries rely on nuclear energy for electricity generation.
Nuclear power plants do not emit carbon dioxide (CO2) during electricity generation, as they do not burn fossil fuels. However, CO2 emissions can be indirectly associated with nuclear power from activities such as mining uranium, constructing plants, and managing waste.
The main problems with nuclear power include the potential for accidents such as meltdowns, the production of radioactive waste that needs to be safely stored for thousands of years, the high cost of constructing and decommissioning nuclear plants, and the risk of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
There are 31 countries that have nuclear power. There are 15 countries that plan to have it in the not too distant future. See the Related Link below for more information.
France, China, the U.S., the U.K.

About 70-75% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power plants, making it one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
In nuclear power plants, producing electricity
Nuclear power emits significantly lower greenhouse gases compared to coal, oil, and natural gas. Nuclear power plants do not produce carbon dioxide during their operation, unlike fossil fuel power plants. However, nuclear power does involve some greenhouse gas emissions related to mining, processing, and constructing the facilities.
No, nuclear power is not banned in most countries. However, some countries have chosen to phase out or discontinue nuclear power plants for various reasons such as safety concerns, cost, or public opinion. Generally, nuclear power is regulated and subject to strict safety protocols.
Nuclear weapons are NOT tested at nuclear power plants!!!! They are tested at remote locations far from population centers, and responsible countries do all their testing underground to eliminate the fallout hazard.
