Why doesn't the US use nuclear weapons?

Why do we need to enrich the uranium?
Uranium enrichment is necessary to increase the concentration of the fissile isotope U-235 for use in nuclear reactors and weapons. Natural uranium contains only about 0.7% U-235, which is insufficient for most nuclear applications. Enriching uranium allows for more efficient nuclear reactions, enabling sustained energy production in reactors and the creation of nuclear weapons. Additionally, enriched uranium can help meet specific energy demands and support advancements in nuclear technology.
Is plutonium 239 man made or natural?
Plutonium-239 is not found in nature in significant quantities and is primarily produced in nuclear reactors as a byproduct of nuclear fission reactions. It is a man-made element that is typically created for use in nuclear weapons and reactor fuel.
How many nuclear bombs does it take to blow up Pluto?
It is impossible to blow up Pluto with nuclear bombs, as it is a dwarf planet located over 3.6 billion miles away from Earth. Additionally, the use of nuclear weapons in space is banned by international laws and treaties.

Does a country with nuclear weapons have a right to deny other countries from trying to create nuclear weapons?
Countries with nuclear weapons often push for non-proliferation to prevent other nations from acquiring such weapons. While each country has sovereignty, there are international agreements like the Non-Proliferation Treaty aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. It is generally in the global interest to limit the number of countries with nuclear capabilities to maintain stability.
Can the Alaska governor release nuclear missiles?

Where are nuclear fusions used?
Only in nuclear weapons
Why does US make nuclear weapons?

In how many ways can the energy of uranium be used?
Only in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
