No, Enriched Uranium-235 is used in a nuclear reactor as the fuel in the fuel rods and boron is used in the control rods.
None of them do.

yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
Uranium is the radioactive element used in nuclear power plants these days. This element has a very high energy content.
NO!

Currently, 100 nuclear power plants are operating the United States per the statistics of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as of April 2004.
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.
Only India has nuclear power reactors with thorium in operation: Kaiga, Rajasthan, Kaprakar. Bravo Indians, all before !
About 70% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power, making it one of the largest users of nuclear energy in the world. France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation across 19 nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power plants do not destroy the world. While there are risks associated with nuclear power, such as accidents and radioactive waste disposal, when operated safely and responsibly, nuclear power can provide a reliable source of clean energy. Stringent regulations and safety measures are in place to minimize these risks and ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants.
