I came here looking for that information, as I was incredibly surprised to learn of nuclear energy existing in the Caribbean.

It would be a dream to no longer have to rely on fossil fuels, but my native island is at the peak possible cross-section of hurricane, earthquakes, and volcano eruption risks, so I guess we're only missing tsunamis and dry forest fires to complete our bingo for "best place to build nuclear"

"... as I was incredibly surprised to learn of nuclear energy existing in the Caribbean ..."

You may also find it interesting that South Africa had nuclear weapons:

    I knew about it, but your post is the first I've heard that SA no longer had those (I only clicked the link because you used the past tense!). I actually thought that no country had ever withdrawn their nuclear program.

    This might be the most amazing and hope-inspiring I've read online this week, so I'm grateful for you sharing that link!
