Plutionium, Uranium and/or Americum can all be used to fuel a nuclear fission power station
Advantages: it is an alternative source of electricity and heat; it is at the base of fission bombs.Disadvantages: radioactive wastes are produced.
According to the authors of the textbook Economics U$A, Opportunity Cost or Alternative Cost is the value of what certain resources could have produced have they been used in the best alternative way. Since economic resources are scarce, only a limited amount of goods and services can be produced from them and there arise the necessity of choice.
a.They are scarce i.e their supply is limited. b.They have mortality value. c.They are evenly distributed. d.They have alternative resources.
it is produced by radioactive decay from nature

There is no difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes by power plants except the unjustified concerns of the public that oppose radioactive waste disposal in their vicinity. Currently; there are well established methods and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high). Primarily; three methods are applied:delay and decay: to maintain waste in tanks for some periods of time to allow decay of radioactivity and then to be disposed of to environment.dilute and disperse: to dispose to environment (through dilution and dispersion) as ocean, sea, atmosphere, etc.contain and concentrate: This is used mainly for high level radioactive waste as spent fuel or the spent fuel reprocessing products; either in wet storage, dry storage, or incineration&containment in barrels, or vitrified waste.
