The mechanics of a power plant that generally uses nuclear energy in order to generate electricity lies in the principle of nuclear fission between radioactive atoms. In addition, among its major arguments on why it is still a matter of ethical issue is because of the intensive maintenance it requires for the disposal of its radioactive wastes.
