No. It is so expensive no one even knows what it will cost. But since that cost is borne by the future, none of it figures in the jumbled heap of statistics that nuclear investors use to make it appear economically or in any other way sensible. Known costs are already appalling: ever-accumulating, permanently toxic nuclear waste that cannot be contained or destroyed; medical catastrophes and clean-ups after their inevitable little mishaps; economic decline and global damage to the food chain as local aquaculture waters are lost to heat pollution.

What is one advantage of nuclear power?

Nuclear power Gives almost infinite electricity. like the sun, it has nuclear fusion, and nuclear fusion is infinite power. we are not that far with technology. so we have nuclear separation. now i don't know if that's the correct English term, but separation too gives allot of cheap electricity.

Why was Nuclear Power Invented?

Nuclear power was invented to generate electricity by utilizing the heat produced from nuclear reactions. It was developed as a way to provide a reliable and efficient source of energy to meet the increasing demand for electricity globally. Additionally, nuclear power was seen as a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
