Nuclear fission produces nuclear waste which has to be desposed off and because of the nuclear waste's long half-life it takes thousands of years before the waste becomes safe. Mining for U-238 is expensive and an enrichment process is required to turn U-238 to U-235 before it can be used in a nuclear reactor, this takes time and money and is another disadvantage.
