The USA . To prevent a comunication shutdown in the case of a nuclear war.

Bradwell, though it is permanently shutdown now. I suppose Sizewell is now the nearest operating one.
No, it safely shutdown with no damage. It failed because the tsunami destroyed the generators powering the cooling system.
Any decision by the UK to go to war, or to launch nuclear weapons, would have to be made by Parliament.
New Zealand's parliament passed the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act 1987.
Nuclear energy is released as heat in the fuel of a nuclear reactor, but only when the reactor has been brought to criticality and the chain reaction started. At that point the heat must be used, it can't be stored and used later. Before criticality is established, the reactor is shutdown and producing no nuclear heat from fission, so you could regard it as having potential nuclear energy in that state
President Donald Trump!!!!
You are misinformed. All the AGR stations are operational, the magnox ones are mostly shutdown because they have reached the end of life as expected.
All four of the Reactors at Fukushima Daini were operating on March 11, 2011. When the earthquake hit, they all four shut down. There were problems with going into cold shutdown because of lack of power, but offsite power was restored for shutdown and cooling by March 13. The dates for successful cold shutdown were as follows:March 13, Unit 3March 14, Unit 1March 15, Units 2 and 4
Mainly:Nuclear fuel: where nuclear fission and energy is producedReactor coolant: to extract heat from fuelReactor neutron moderator: to reduce neutron energy to thermal range (0.025 ev)Reactor control elements: to control nuclear reaction rate, compensate for fuel burnup, and for shutdown and safety conditionsReflector: to reduce neutron leakage
The tsunami on 11 March 2011 caused damage and ultimately shutdown of three nuclear reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex in Japan. Residents within a 20 km (12 mi) radius of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant were requested to evacuate during the accident.
