Under present world financial conditions I would say that the very high costs of building nuclear plants is a big problem. In the long term, dealing with the radioactive waste and decommissioning the plants safely.

What countries get the majority of their power from nuclear energy?
France is the world largest generator of nuclear power by percentage.
Can workers in nuclear power plants be seriously affected by radioactivity in uranium?
In a nuclear power plant (nuclear reactor) the radioactivity of uranium is not a problem in normal work conditions.
Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
How a nuclear accident occur?
There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.
