because mainly, of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, and probably also because of it being so unknown, and because of the stigma relating to nuclear power (Hiroshima, Nagasaki). I guess people are just scared of having two heads.

Why nuclear energy comprises only six percent?

Nuclear energy provides only about 6% of the world's power (14% of the world' electricity) because it is expensive, at least in the short term; people are afraid of it; people (sometimes deliberately) misunderstand the (environmental) consequences of not using it; and there is concern that nuclear reactors could be used to generate weapons grade material. There are other reasons, but these are the highlights.
