Question

What are the advantages of nuclear energy?​

Answer 1

$\boxed{ \huge{ \bf{ \red{Answer :}}}}$

Advantages of nuclear energy are:

▶️A small quantity of nuclear fuel is needed to produce a large amount of useful energy.

▶️Nuclear power plant produces less atmospheric pollution than thermal power plants, if the nuclear fission reaction is performed properly.

▶️Small amount of nuclear fuel can run a nuclear power plant over a long period of time.

▶️There is no need of inserting the nuclear fuel in the nuclear reactor again and again in a short period as in case of thermal power plant.

Answer 2

Advantages of nuclear power generation: Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little.

While using fossil fuels to generate electricity may carry no threat of a large disaster, they are not good for the environment since they emit unlimited amounts of greenhouse gasses. Nuclear energy is completely safe for the environment if managed properly.
