Question

5. Highlight any three advantages of using nuclear energy.
​

Answer 1

Advantages of nuclear power

The generation of electricity through nuclear energy reduces the amount of energy generated from fossil fuels (coal and oil). Less use of fossil fuelsmeans lowering greenhouse gas emissions (CO2and others).

Currently, fossil fuels are consumed faster than they are produced, so in the next future these resources may be reduced or the price may increase becoming inaccessible for most of the population.

Another advantage is the required amount of fuel: less fuel offers more energy. It represents a significant save on raw materials but also in transport, handling and extraction of nuclear fuel. The cost of nuclear fuel (overall uranium) is 20% of the cost of energy generated. 

Answer 2

Hey there


The advantages of nuclear power are:
One of the most low-carbon energy sources.
It also has one of the smallest carbon footprints.
It's one of the answers to the energy gap.
It is essential to our response to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
Reliable and cost-effective.
