Well they do have 55 reactors for power throughout the country. Funny though as they get pissy whenever one of our nuc boats docks in their country.

Yeah, Italy is another one of those. Although last I knew they didn't have any reactors built, but they were looking into it.

Japan has been discribed as a "Turn Key" nuclear power, in other words they have the technology and know how to go nuclear (ships and bombs) but chose not to. Their ships and planes could easily carry our nuclear bombs if necessary.

New Zealand also forbids any ship with a nuclear reactor or capable of carrying nuclear weapons from entering its waters. Some cities in Canada (Vancouver I think) do as well.

I wish I still had the picture I got from Vancouver. There is a no **** sign there that says "Vancouver is a nuclear weapons free zone." I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

Edit: here's a pic of it I found on the net.
