What are the advantages and disadvantages of a nuclesr power plant?

Advantages of nuclear power plants include their ability to generate large amounts of electricity with low greenhouse gas emissions, making them a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. They also have a high capacity factor, meaning they can operate continuously at full power for long periods. However, disadvantages include the potential for catastrophic accidents, the challenge of managing radioactive waste, and high initial construction costs. Additionally, public perception and regulatory hurdles can complicate the development of new plants.
