Advantages
1. is environmentally clean - very little greenhouse gas emission.
2. generates a high amount of electrical energy for the footprint of the power plant.
3. technology and materials already exist to build them.
4. generates less waste overall than other energy plants (coal, natural gas)
5. does not use fossil fuel - will decrease our dependency on oil
Disadvantages
1. generates nuclear waste that we as of yet cannot dispose of, only store away.
2. Is still very unpopular in the public eye.
3. the consequences of an accident are high - radiation and fallout are devastating to our world.
4. creates preferred targets for terrorist or military attacks.
5. nuclear waste generated can be refined into weapons grade materials, contributing to nuclear proliferation.

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.
