North Korea, Iran, and possibly Syria. North Korea has confirmed it has the capabilities to create nuclear weapons and has proven it. However, they have not perfected the technology behind delivering the missile effectively to anywhere outside the Korean Peninsula. Iran claims its current nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. But the claim is practically ludicrous with the evidence behind the type of reactors being built, the fissile material being generated, and the statements it has made about Israel. Syria is another story because it has attempted to create nuclear reactors as well with evidence that it received help from North Korea. However, Israel destroyed the site before it could be operational.
Many countries have nuclear weapons today including the United States. China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan also have nuclear weapons.

Today eight countries are in possessionn of nuclear weapons. The five nuclear weapons states United States, Russia (former Soviet Union), United Kingdom, France and China, are the only countries allowed to have nuclear weapons according to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) from 1970. All members of the United Nations except Israel, India and Pakistan have signed the NPT.
USA, Russia, UK, PRC, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea are known for having nuclear weapon. Israel probably also owns nuclear weapon but never officialy declared it.
Atomic weapons impact the balance of military power in the world today in the sense that produce a sense of fear in the countries that have weak militaries.

Neither the US nor Russia are making nuclear weapons of any kind at this time. Other countries however are making nuclear weapons; some are North Korea, India, and Pakistan.

The tiniest amounts of plutonium (Pu) can be found in uranium that we remove from the ground. But most plutonium today is found at nuclear weapons plants or wherever nuclear weapons are kept. There is also some in nuclear fuel facilities. Certainly it is present in spent nuclear fuel.
India and Pakistan both gained, Nuclear Weapons.
Back in World War II there were bombs and soldiers going around with guns, but now America has nuclear warheads that can take out entire nations. Opposed to when countries could only take out cities.
WW II was a desperate struggle and there was no guarantee that the Allied forces would win. It was therefore thought to be a good idea to make advances in weapons technology. Of course today we have the problem of nuclear proliferation and the threat that someday nuclear weapons would be used for some very destructive purpose, but when nuclear weapons were invented, all that mattered was winning the war that was in progress at the time.
During the Cold War aircraft carriers had a secondary mission of nuclear warfare and its attack aircraft were nuclear-capable. However, it was policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard any naval vessel. Pres. George H.W. Bush cancelled the nuclear mission for all naval forces except SSBN submarines. Today there are no nuclear weapons and no nuclear-capable aircraft on our carriers.
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactor.France and United Kingdom use also uranium for nuclear weapons (but today bombs are generally with plutonium or thermonuclear).
