Advantages of Nuclear Energy
Despite potential drawbacks and the controversy that surrounds it, nuclear energy does have a few advantages over some other methods of energy production.
Expense
Less uranium is needed to produce the same amount of energy as coal or oil, which lowers the cost of producing the same amount of energy. Uranium is also less expensive to procure and transport, which further lowers the cost.
Reliability
When a nuclear power plant is functioning properly, it can run uninterrupted for up to 540 days. This results in fewer brownouts or other power interruptions. The running of the plant is also not contingent of weather or foreign suppliers, which makes it more stable than other forms of energy.
No Greenhouse Gases
While nuclear energy does have some emissions, the plant itself does not give off greenhouse gasses. Studies have shown that what life-cycle emissions that the plants do give off are on par with renewable energy sources such as wind power. This lack of greenhouse gases can be very attractive to some consumers.

Hey Friend
Advantages of Nuclear Energy
No green house gas emissions.
Nuclear reactor operations emit zero green house gases. Although the process of mining, enrichment, construction and East management of uranium involves emission of green house gases, the total emission is way lower compared to emissions of fossil fuels.
Nuclear energy is compact.
A nuclear power station is compact, which means it quintessentially covers an area the size of a football stadium and the surroundings.
Competitive cost - The cost of nuclear power is very much stable and competitive. In the other hand, the cost of power derived from fossil fuels pretty much depends on the market.
Hope it helps ☺☺☺
