Question

what are the advantages of nuclear energy

Answer 1

There's a huge and ongoing demand for electricity in the UK – think about your everyday routine and how much of that relies on energy. We have a responsibility to keep powering our homes, workplaces and cities – but we also have a responsibility to the planet. So we need to make sure we are low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

We believe nuclear power has enough positives to be part of the solution – being able to keep us in power and be kind to the planet. The benefits of nuclear energy may actually surprise you.

 

What are the advantages of nuclear energy?

One of the most low-carbon energy sourcesIt also has one of the smallest carbon footprints, even taking construction into accountIt's one of the answers to the energy gapIt is essential to our response to climate change and greenhouse gas emissionsReliable and cost-effective.

Although nuclear power stations take considerable investment to build, they have low running costs and longevity – meaning they are particularly cost effective. Most of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with nuclear power stations happen during construction and fuel processing, not when electricity is being generated.

 

Nuclear can help meet our country's demands

Uranium is the raw material used to create fuel – it comes from stable regions around the world and is widely available. This dependability means nuclear power is a long-term, low-carbon solution.

However, we need enough power stations to process it – these last between 40 and 60 years after which they are decommissioned. Seven of the eight nuclear power stations in the UK are due to close by 2030. These create enough electricity to power 50% of the UK's homes (or around a fifth of all the electricity used in the UK).

We are all trying to work towards a reliable and low-carbon form of power to keep the lights on in the UK – we believe nuclear energy is a great step towards this.

Heyy Mate...

Here is ur answer...

May it helps uh...❤

Advantages of Nuclear energy are- 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.
