A major drawback to the use of nuclear power is that it produces radioactive waste. This waste can pollute water sources and kill organisms.
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.
Some major drawbacks to the use of nuclear power include the risk of accidents and meltdowns, long-term storage of radioactive waste, high initial costs for plant construction, and the potential for nuclear proliferation if technology falls into the wrong hands.
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
The United States was the first country to use nuclear power for electricity generation, with the first nuclear power plant going online in 1957 in Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
See www.nrc.gov for a list of all US states with nuclear power plants
The Major drawback, is probably the gasses that will penetrate the Ozone Layer? My Name is amanda, and i am 13. I hope to be a Physicist when i grow up.

One major drawback of hydrogen power is the cost associated with producing, storing, and transporting hydrogen. Additionally, the current infrastructure for hydrogen refueling stations is limited, making it less convenient for widespread adoption. There are also safety concerns related to the flammability of hydrogen gas.
The use of fossil fuels is required to create pure hydrogen. APEX!
The commercial use of nuclear power began in the 1950's
USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, China
some are: radioactive waste, increased cancer rates, potential for catastrophic disaster, presence of highly corrupt nuclear industry
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
It could be argued that the use of nuclear power began in the 1950's when a nuclear reactor in the Idaho desert supplied electric power to a local community.
The use of nuclear energy is to produse large quantity of electricity, whihh is higher than other energy sources. But the drawback is its safty and cost, requirement of skilled person...
