What are some advantages of nuclear power as a source of energy?

Nuclear power does not release greenhouse gases or other atmospheric pollutants (barring a melt-down), unlike power plants that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil, or natural gas). Unlike solar power, nuclear power is independent of the weather conditions. Unlike hydroelectric power, nuclear power can be installed anywhere.

What are some disadvantges of nuclear energy that doesn't involve radiation and core meltdowns?

The main disadvantage is that nuclear fuel is expensive and we have only so much of it; it too will run out, just as fossil fuels will run out. From a long-term perspective it is more promising to use longer-lasting energy sources such as solar power, since the sun will continue to shine for billions of years to come.
