Advantages of Nuclear Fission
- Nuclear fission provides cheapest energy . Almost 10% of electricity used in the world is obtained from the fission reaction
- It offers a low-emission energy solution since there is no carbon dioxide gas emitted during the nuclear fission reaction
- A well controlled and maintained nuclear reactor can produce energy for 36 to 40 months so works for .
- It is a reliable source of energy as energy is obtained from uranium which is available is plenty.
- It provides very concentrations of energy as it can provide large amount of energy from small amount of fuel.
- The reaction gives less annual mortality rate of any energy resource with 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt hours
Disadvantages of Nuclear Fission
- It is dangerous and also explosive.
- It creates harmful and radioactive waste products.
- It is not a renewable energy resource like solar and wind energy
- It can develop long-term health issues for people exposed to then radioactive waves.
- It involves high cost in installation of the reactors.
