The Advantage And Disadvantage Of Nuclear Power


Is generated by using Uranium which is a metal mined in varies part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria. England in varies1956. Some military ships and submarines has nuclear plant for powering the engine. Nuclear power produce around 11% of the world's energy. It causes on pollution as we what get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plants are as follow:

  1. It costs about the same coal, so it is not expensive to make.
  2. It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
  3. A small amount of it can produce a huge amount of energy.
  4. Produces small amount of waste.
  5. Material process
  6. It is reliable. On the other hand, nuclear power is very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity extinct.
  7. Although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because he it does not a serious nuclear accident can happen. People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the other 1990s, nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world.
