The main advantage of nuclear power is that it does not depend on manufacturing carbon dioxide from carbon fuels, as gas, oil and coal power plants do, so nuclear power plants save millions of tons of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere.

Does nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?

It's definitely cleaner than fossil fuels. It produces very little pollution, just waste, which can be stored safely. As for whether it's more "efficient", you need to define what you mean. Nuclear power plants use far smaller amounts of fuel than fossil plants.

Is a coal oil burning station more efficient than a nuclear generating station?

Nuclear generating stations are generally more efficient than coal/oil burning stations in terms of energy production per unit of fuel consumed. This is because nuclear reactions are much more energy-dense and produce more power with less fuel. Additionally, nuclear plants have lower operating costs and emit less greenhouse gases compared to coal/oil plants.

Why is nuclear burned in a power station?

Nuclear fuel is burned in a power station to generate heat energy through the process of nuclear fission. This heat is then used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. This process is used because nuclear energy is a reliable and efficient source of power that can produce large amounts of electricity without greenhouse gas emissions.
