As INPO, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators, there are three special characteristsics of nuclear power, as compared to other industries:
1) Nuclear material is radioactive.
2) Nuclear power plants contain all of their fuel for one fuel cycle (18-24 months) in their cores.
3) Nuclear reactors must maintain cooling systems even after the nuclear reaction has been shut down, due to latent heat production from the fuel.

What are some advantages of nuclear power as a source of energy?
Nuclear power does not release greenhouse gases or other atmospheric pollutants (barring a melt-down), unlike power plants that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil, or natural gas). Unlike solar power, nuclear power is independent of the weather conditions. Unlike hydroelectric power, nuclear power can be installed anywhere.
