What are the advantages of nuclear energy?
advantages of nuclear energy are as follows:
1. 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.
2. Reliability
When a nuclear power plant is functioning properly, it can run uninterrupted for up to 540 days.
3. No Greenhouse Gases
While nuclear energy does have some emissions, the plant itself does not give off greenhouse gasses.
