Reactors use thermal (slow) neutrons, fission weapons use fast neutrons.Reactors all use fission, weapons can use fission, fusion, or any combination.Reactors can use delayed fissions making them respond slowly to control changes, weapons complete their reaction too fast for delayed fissions to happen.Reactors have control rods and their energy release can be adjusted or even turned off, weapons have no controls and release all their energy in a few microseconds once triggered.etc.


Why don't we want all countries to have access to nuclear energy?

From what I understand the issue is not really the access to nuclear energy but, the access to nuclear material.
