Best Answer

It's greener and safer than fossil fuel power plants, but produces far more energy than wind or solar power plants.

For example, coal power plants produce the same amount of radiation as Three Mile Island every few days, and produce extremely large amounts of particulate pollution, which kill the same number of people as Chernobyl every few weeks.

Wind turbines cost about the same amount as nuclear plants, per watt, but to produce the same amount of energy, they require 300 times as much land.
