The Venn diagram between "countries with nuclear weapons (or a strong desire to acquire them)" and "countries relying on nuclear energy" seems to be a circle, so I doubt that's going to happen.

Do you believe commercial power plants are some how involved in nuclear weapons production? They are not. This is some Iran is seeking nuclear weapons conspiracy poo poo.

Fission is risky, but We have no choice at this point. Fusion is eternally x years away, renewables are not as scalable, and are likely to have problems with changing weather, and are land intensive.

fission is already a (relatively) mature technology, we merely lack the will to use it.

Yes nuclear energy is perfectly safe and good if you maintain the policy of firing everyone who tries to report an accident. It's been a perfect system for a long time now.

At least with nuclear power you have to actively try to use it to end human civilization.

Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey is a pro-read because the title probably makes a bunch of anti-nuclear types buy it but the book is about how much nuclear power owns despite the accidents which have occurred, each of which being covered in detail
