Three advantages of nuclear energy are:
1.Tremendous amount of energy produced: nuclear energy produces a large amount of useful energy from a very small amount nuclear fuel (Uranium, Plutonium,Thorium). The Fission of an atom of Uranium produces 10 million times the energy produced the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
2. Energy supply energy supply: once the nuclear fuel like uranium 235 is loaded into the reactor, the nuclear power plant can go on producing electricity for 2 to 3 years or for a long span of time at a stretch. There is no need for putting in nuclear fuel again and again.
3. Pollutant gases: nuclear fuel does not produce pollutant gases like carbon dioxide so it contribute to the greenhouse effect. It also does not produce Sulphur Dioxide so it does not cause acid rain.

Explanation:
•produces large amount of energy per unit mass
•does not produce smoke
•fission of one atom of uranium produces 10 milion times the energy released by burning of one atom of carbon.
