the usa stoped using nuclear engery for the fact that it is far to dangerous. a exsample could be the chernoble insadent where a nuclear power plant went off. the area is still radioactive to this day. this in just my theary on it but that could be the most likely resion we dont use it any more.

Do other countries ulitize nulear power more or less than US?
A1 It's a matter of choice. A2 I think only France has a higher proportion of nuclear power, but then the size of the grid is much smaller than in the US, they have only about half the number of reactors. I think you will find the US actually produces more nuclear power than any other country. Many countries, like Australia and New Zealand, have decided not to have nuclear power out of choice, and therefore have a completely different attitude to France where it is about 75 percent of the total. It just shows how people in different places come to different decisions.
Why is nuclear power reliable?
Because the fuel is obtainable from friendly and stable countries (Canada, Australia)
How many country use the nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy makes up 80% of France's energy intake. The USA has over 100 power plants and many countries are building more nuclear power plants (like India and China.) Poland is starting on Nuclear energy in 2020.
Are nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants the same?
Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.
Why don't we want all countries to have access to nuclear energy?
From what I understand the issue is not really the access to nuclear energy but, the access to nuclear material. If some more "rogue" and "dangerous" countries had access to nuclear material and enriching plants they could easily create nuclear bombs which, these countries being more unstable than most, they could use for an attack that would kill many people.
Why does Europe and other countries like japan have more nuclear power plants campared to other types of power?
France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA. Not sure about Japan, but nuclear appeals there I think because they have little fossil fuels in the country. See www.world-nuclear.org for a more detailed survey.
How many countries in the world have nuclear power plants?
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.
What countries have used a nuclear bomb?
The United States uses more nuclear power than any other country, around 20 percent of the power in the United States is created via nuclear power. Other countries that use nuclear power include France, Russia, and Japan. These countries all create more energy via nuclear power percentage wise, however none create nearly as many total Kilowatt hours as the United States.
Do other countries utilize more or less nuclear power than the US?
Both. In 2007, France's power generation was 78% nuclear. At the same time, the US generation was only 19% nuclear. Japan's was 28% nuclear. Brazil's was only 3%. These numbers are from the Int'l Atomic Energy Assoc.
What are the main points of Obama's political agenda?
Obama is trying to destroy America by bringing the power of America down to the power of other weaker countries. Also he believes that America should not have more Nuclear Weapons then other Countries so he gets rid of them.
What countries obtain most of their electrcity from nuclear power?
The following countries get more than half their electricity from nuclear power: France - 76.2% Slovakia - 56.4% Belgium - 53.8% The Ukraine comes close to half, with 47.4%.
How many country which have nuclear atomic power?
Thirty countries of the world currently operate nuclear power stations.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
Which country is the powerful nuclear power?
The two main nuclear powers are Russia & US by at least an order of magnitude above other countries. Russia currently has slightly more weapons.
Where could you find nuclear energy?
In the US there are 104 operating reactors. See www.nrc.gov for more information. Other countries with substantial nuclear power include France, Germany, UK, Canada, Russia, S Korea, Japan.
Why were nuclear bombs made?
To protect the country that made them or most countries use it to gain more protection of other contries or to threaten other countries. :)
What are some types of reliant energy people use in developed countries?
Some of the various types of energy that are considered reliable sources in more developed countries are wind power, nuclear power and hyroelectric power.
