A1. Mainly I would say that no permanent long term repository has been established for the radioactive fission products in the spent fuel. For the moment the spent fuel is being stored in water cooling ponds, but this will have to be solved at some time to provide a long term solution.
A2. Some of the negatives of nuclear energy are the high costs to build and license the building, the large initial investment for long term payback, the waste products have to be stored in remote facilities, and the high cost of personnel.

What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
Is nuclear power biology?
No. Nuclear power is not based on biology. It is based on nuclear physics.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What percentage of US power production is from nuclear power?
It is 28% nuclear power.
Does a CANDU produce nuclear or hydroelectric power?
nuclear power
What are the two nuclear power stations in Pakistan?
The Chashma Nuclear Power Complex and Karachi Nuclear Power Plant are in Pakistan.
What type of nuclear reaction is used to create power in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission
