I would say the USA as it has more operating power reactors than any other country, but France is also well up there with a greater proportion of electrical power being nuclear, it is though a much smaller country and industrial economy
In the US, nuclear power provides about 20% of the total electricity generation, making it the largest source of low-carbon electricity. There are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states.
Pretty much every "Developed" nation eg. USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Venezeula, UK, Iran, Iraq, Israel, China, Russia, the Koreas, France, Spain, Germany, etc.
Nuclear reactors can vary in size depending on their purpose. A typical commercial nuclear reactor used for generating electricity can be around 1,000 megawatts in size, which is enough to power a city of about one million people. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are also being developed that can be much smaller in size, around 50-300 megawatts.
Several countries utilize nuclear power more than the US, including France, which relies heavily on nuclear energy for electricity generation. Countries such as China and Russia also have significant nuclear power programs. However, there are also countries that utilize nuclear power less than the US, such as Germany and Japan, which have reduced their reliance on nuclear energy in recent years.
No, France has much more nuclear capacity, as well as a much larger total electricity demand. Romania - 2 reactors, Candu type, 1,310 MWe output France - 59 reactors, PWR type, 63,000 MWe output

xenon is usually a waste product of nuclear reactors and although has power not that much
The world's power needs could be met with 7500 well placed reactors.
France doesn't actually have more MW than the US, but it has a higher percentage of its total electricity output. Thus France relies on about 75 percent nuclear and the US 19 percent, but the US economy is much bigger and its total electricity supply is correspondingly much bigger. I don't have all the figures but the US has 104 operating reactors and France has about 50

No new nuclear plants have been built in the US in the past 20 years. The Watts Bar plant was licenced in 1996, but had been built much earlier. The last plant actually built was the River Bend plant in Louisiana, which was licenced in 1986.
The majority of nuclear reactors use uranium as nuclear fuel.
Yes, very much so. 104 reactors working in the US alone and about 400 world wide

India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
In 2008, the "average" nuclear power plant generated about 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh). There were 65 nuclear power plants with 104 operating nuclear reactors that generated a total of 808.97 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), or almost 20% of the nation's electricity. Thirty-six of those plants had two or more reactors. The smallest nuclear plant has a single reactor with 476 MW of generation capacity and the largest has three reactors with a total of 3,825 MW of capacity. Source: US Department of Energy
