Nuclear weapon The only countries known to have detonated nuclear weapons—and acknowledge possessing them—are (chronologically by date of first test) the United States, the Soviet Union (succeeded as a nuclear power by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, the People's Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT. A nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation.

Credential Types and documentation of credentials [edit]. A person holding a credential is usually given documentation or secret knowledge (e.g., a password or key) as proof of the credential.For example: Arun Paul MSW, MPHIL). Documentation of academic and professional credentials usually consists of a printed, formal document. The issuing institution often maintains a record of the credential as well. Academic credentials are normally valid for the lifetime of the person to whom they are issued.

The Basics of Nuclear Energy â How is Nuclear Power Produced? Currently, approximately 17% of electricity worldwide is produced by nuclear power plants, but in some countries, like France, over 75% of their electricity is produced by nuclear power (How Stuff Works). The United States, on the other hand, only produces about 15% of the electricity from nuclear power.

Nuclear power in the United States As of 2015, there are five new reactors under construction with a gross electrical capacity of 6,218 MW, while 33 reactors have been permanently shut down. The United States is the world's largest supplier of commercial nuclear power, and in 2013 generated 33% of the world's nuclear electricity.here has been considerable opposition to the use of nuclear power in the U.S. The first U.S. reactor to face public opposition was Fermi 1 in 1957. It was built approximately 30 miles from Detroit and there was opposition from the United Auto Workers Union.
