Nuclear power is unrelated to the security Council permanent members. They were simply the world powers that won WWII. At the time, many of them didn't have nukes yet.

It is, however, one of the reasons people occasionally agitate to remove Russia because it wasn't Russia that won WW2.

It was the USSR, a major component of such being Ukraine.
