Nuclear power is the major source of energy among all nations.
In the United States, nuclear energy accounts for around 20% of the total energy generated.
Several countries are actively planning to join the nuclear energy club or expand their nuclear capabilities. Notable among them are countries like Saudi Arabia, which aims to establish a civilian nuclear program to diversify its energy sources, and Turkey, which is progressing with its first nuclear power plant. Additionally, nations such as Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates are also looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy initiatives to meet growing energy demands and reduce carbon emissions.
No. Only about 20% of the nations energy comes from nuclear fission.

Governments, in conjunction with the United Nations.
it is quite unfair to say that having nuclear weapons with IRAN is dangerous because when pakistan is nuclear armed country and other nations are equipped with this nuclear facility because if IRAN is acquiring nuclear energy for gud purpose, then we shud not stop IRAN from achieving its energy purpose.
Available plutonium and uranium are reserved for nuclear weapons is not a factor in why nuclear energy has failed to live up to the hopes that it would solve the nations' energy needed. Many people worry about the safety of nuclear reactors.
The UN Atomic Energy Commission, or United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is an international organization that promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy and works to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. It provides technical support and guidance to countries pursuing nuclear energy programs and conducts inspections to ensure compliance with non-proliferation agreements.
Nations built nuclear electricity generating plants because they provide a reliable and consistent source of energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear power can also help reduce reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation, thus diversifying the energy mix and enhancing energy security.
The purpose of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It seeks to achieve nuclear disarmament while allowing for the peaceful use of nuclear technology for energy and research purposes.
People are worried about nuclear energy due to the potential for accidents like those seen at Chernobyl and Fukushima. Concerns also include the long-term storage of radioactive waste and the risk of proliferation for weapons. The high cost of building and maintaining nuclear plants is another factor.
