The same reason as the other countries that have nuclear power plans. Firstly to show off power. The other reason : Fear. Not even for energy generation, nuclear capability is justified due to the high risk that nuclear power plants represent.
No, there is a small risk, but their energy output is much higher than that of other power sources

One good thing is that they provide a decent amount of power. However, one bad thing is the risk of an explosion, the equivalent of a nuke.
Electricity, but there is a risk of radioactive leakage.
They have been the standard-with much improvement over l00 years of Con Ed Power & Light. They are certainly more economical risk-wise than the Nuclear jobs.
The average age of workers in nuclear power plants varies but is typically around 45-50 years old. This is due to the amount of experience and expertise required to work in such a high-risk industry.
