Why is nuclear power cheaper?

Is it cheaper? I think costs of generated electricity are comparable with fossil fuels, but less than renewables. The trouble with nuclear is the high cost of building, certainly once the plant is built the ongoing fuel costs are less than for fossil fuels.

What is the advantage of wind power over nuclear power?

Wind power is considered to be a more environmentally friendly option compared to nuclear power as it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste. Additionally, wind power is a renewable energy source that relies on a natural and abundant resource, while nuclear power depends on uranium which is a finite resource. Lastly, wind power is typically faster and cheaper to construct than nuclear power plants.

What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?

Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.


What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?

I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
