1. Radioactive wastes are produced.
2. The initial investment is high.
3. Very skilled workers are needed.
1. they are pretty expensive 2.they are hard to keep up 3. the waste is hard to get rid of
For fusion, the main disadvantage is that nobody has been able to make it work. However it does have promise and if it can be developed it will not produce the dangerous fission products that fission does. For fission, see reply to question 'What are the disadvantages of nuclear fission power'

nuclear fission
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
1. Fission of uranium 235. 2. Fission of plutonium 239 . 3. Fusion of deuterium and tritium
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
Fission bombs. They use one or more of 3 fuels: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, or Plutonium-239.
