What are the advantages and the disadvantages for nuclear power?

Nuclear power offers several advantages, including low greenhouse gas emissions during operation, a high energy output from a small fuel volume, and a reliable energy supply that can operate independently of weather conditions. However, disadvantages include the high costs of plant construction and decommissioning, the potential for catastrophic accidents, and the unresolved issue of long-term storage for radioactive waste. Additionally, public perception and regulatory hurdles can hinder the development of new nuclear facilities.


How many people have died due to accidents and pollution from nuclear power plants compared to how many have died due to accidents and pollution from coal power plants?

There technically is no "pollution" from nuclear power, the only by product is steam. The transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel is extremely secure and safe. The only time we are in danger of nuclear radiation are if the reactor vessels that house the nuclear rods are damaged or melt....which is extremely rare and only happens with a massive failure in the chain of events that govern and sustain the supply (in theory, a deliberate attack on a power plant would also cause a spill, too. Yet, so far, that hasn't happened). In the end, thousands of people die every year from the burning of fossil fuels, where as virtually nobody dies from the use of nuclear power. Over 85 of France's power usage comes from nuclear power, after all.

Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?

No, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years, while nuclear power is generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission.

How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?

Nuclear energy does not rely on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, which helps reduce the consumption of these limited resources. By using nuclear power as a clean alternative, we can preserve fossil fuels for other important uses such as transportation and heating.
