This is entirely within the control of the New Zealand government and people, if they say no this has to be accepted.

Can Nuclear fission be controlled?
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
Why does the new zealand government not want nuclear powered ships in your ports?
They just don't like nuclear in NZ, period.
Does the Canadian navy currently possess or have plans to build or purchase any nuclear powered surface vessels or submarines?
It is doubtful. Canada has never had nuclear powered ships or subs. the current submarines (victoria class) were acquired from the UK and are desiel powered. Canada does not have any plans in the future for any nuclear power vessels.
What is top speed of nuclear powered destroyer ship?
The US Navy no longer has nuclear powered cruisers or destroyers. The only nuclear powered surface ships are aircraft carriers. In general, the nuclear powered cruisers/destroyers could achieve speeds in excess of 30 knots (34 Miles Per Hour). Aircraft carriers must be able to achieve the same speed in order for them to be able to launch and recover aircraft.
How many Nuclear powered ships does the Navy have?
Some 140 ships are powered by more than 180 small nuclear reactors and more than 12,000 reactor years of marine operation has been accumulated.Most are submarines, but they range from icebreakers to aircraft carriers.
What does SS on Navy Ships stand for?
SS is short for Steam Ship and used on civilian ships. NS would be Nuclear Ship and there was at least one civilian nuclear powered vessel. US Navy ships carry the prefix of USS for United States Ship. British Navy ships have HMS for Her Majesty's Ship.
When was the first time an operating nuclear reactor flew on an airplane and what type of reactor and model of airplane were used in this flight?
The Air Force did a little bit of stuff with nuclear-powered aircraft in the 1950s. They built a couple of nuclear-powered J58 turbojets and ran them to nearly-full throttle, but never installed them in aircraft. They also mounted a reactor in a B-36 bomber, but never connected it to the engines. As far as I can tell they didn't put any fuel in the reactor - they just put the reactor vessel in the plane and went flying. In the end, the amount of shielding it would have taken to keep the crew from dying in mid-flight was impossible to put in a flyable aircraft.In the early to mid 1960s they also talked about building nuclear-powered civil airliners. Back then EVERYTHING was going to be nuclear-powered - cars, trucks, ships, houses...The Navy had a lot more luck with nuclear reactors. A ship can accommodate the shielding, so several classes of ship have had nuclear power. All our current carriers and subs are nuclear. The Navy also built nine nuclear-powered cruisers to accompany carriers, all of which were decommissioned at the end of the Cold War. There were some nuclear civil ships too - the US, Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union all built nuclear cargo ships, and the Russians built nine nuclear icebreakers. Of all these ships, three cargo ships have been decommissioned, the German-owned one has been converted to diesel power, and six of the nine icebreakers are still in service.
Were nuclear things used in world wars?
The ONLY nuclear device(s) ever used in a world war was the Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombs that were dropped in August of 1945, ending WWII. Nuclear powered naval ships were used in a number of other conflicts, but not nuclear weapons.
How a boat is powered?
Modern pirate ships are powered by engines. Pirate ships in olden times were usually powered under sail, or sometimes by slaves rowing.
Who powered da Gama's ships-?
The ships that Vasco de Gama used for exploration were power by the wind.
Modern ships are powered by diesel fuel and nuclear power?
I think they are all diesel except for naval vessels in some navies, and some ice-breakers in Russia.
