Nuclear power produces electricity which is used by the public, however it needs to be carefully managed for safety and it would not be advisable to allow the ordinary unskilled public to have their own reactors.
.
Specifically, Uranium, which is used for fission reactors, is dangerous to handle - it is toxic and radioactive. Just as importantly, uranium fission products include isotopes of caesium, strontium, and barium, all of which are harmful.
.
Nuclear power plants are strictly regulated and carefully controlled, because mistakes made in a nuclear power plant can lead to catastrophe consequences, as seen in Russia at the Chernobyl 1986 reactor disaster, in which killed 31 people died from radiation sickness in the first month, and has left the surrounding surface water and soil contaminated. Even today, there is a 17 mile exclusion zone around the former plant where no one is permitted to live, and it is estimated it will take up to 200 years before this zone becomes habitable again.
.
Finally, some nuclear reactors can be used to make fissionable material suitable for atomic bombs. Consequently, access to nuclear reactors and their byproducts must be carefully controlled at all times.

When will solar energy become accessible to the public?
It is. You can get a solar pannel to put on your house and do some adjustments and you have solar energy and you are public. That was your question, right?
When is the nuclear expected to be easily accessible to the general public?
About 20 percent of electricity in the US is nuclear, slightly less in the UK, and about 75 percent in France. So it is being used all the time.

How can humans save nuclear energy?
Humans can save nuclear energy by improving safety measures, investing in research for new reactor technologies, and promoting sustainable nuclear fuel recycling. Additionally, ensuring proper disposal of nuclear waste and increasing public education on the benefits of nuclear energy could help promote its use as a clean energy source.
