Which is a major drawback to the use of nuclear power?

A major drawback of nuclear power is the risk of accidents, such as meltdowns or leaks, which can have serious environmental and health consequences. Disposal of radioactive waste is another significant challenge associated with nuclear power generation. Additionally, nuclear plants require high upfront capital costs and take a long time to build, making them less flexible compared to other forms of energy generation.


Do atoms last forever in the universe?

Atoms do not last forever in the universe. Over time, atoms can break apart or combine with other atoms through various processes, such as nuclear reactions or chemical reactions. This means that atoms can change and transform, rather than remaining unchanged indefinitely.
