Are talking about nuclear weapons? Or about nuclear power plants?

The top four countries generating electricity from nuclear energy are: 1. United States: Produces the highest amount of nuclear electricity, with 779 TWh in 2023. 2. China: Comes second, generating 406 TWh in 2023. 3. France: Known for its reliance on nuclear power, producing 324 TWh in 2023. 4. Russia: Generates 204 TWh of nuclear electricity.

Russia: With approximately 5,580 nuclear warheads, it holds the largest arsenal globally, with a total yield of approx. 1,000 megatons. 2. United States: Close behind, with around 5,044 nuclear warheads. Total yield: estimated at 800 megatons. 3. China: Estimated to have about 500 nuclear warheads. Approx. 50 megatons. 4.
