What are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear fission?

Answer 1

The positive aspects of nuclear fission are:

it is an energy source which uses fuels which will last for a long time.

It can produce a large amount of energy from a small energy input.

It produces very little carbon emissions.

It is often considered to be better for the environment than coal power plants.

It produces more energy than coal power plants and most other energy sources.

Answer 2

Bad: requires large volumes and high temperatures, produces prodigious quantities of neutrons. Good: the facility eventually decays back to background radiation levels and can be put back in service.

Answer 3

Fission reactions are not hard to start, control or extract the full amounts of energy out of.

Answer 4

well,nuclear energy is good and bad the same time, wich means it is both usefull but dangerous!

Answer 5

the positives is that the nuclear energy usually wont explode on you. the negatives is that they wont put nuclear energy into energy drinks

Answer 6

Since the positives include "without it happening in the sun there would be no life on Earth", do the negatives even MATTER?

it matters alot. i need the negatives for a project!!
