Pros:
- It's green energy
- There is no CO2 released, so this doesn't add to the global warming crisis
- The only byproduct is steam, which is released back into the atmosphere

Cons:
- It uses uranium and that is carcinogenic to humans
- The uranium takes millions of years to become non-toxic
- Radioactive waste can leak and contaminate drinking water
