Some advantages

Produce relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2).Well-developed engineering knowledge. Single plant can generate high amount of power.Some disadvantagesRadioactive waste, an extremely dangerous byproduct, needs careful monitoring for thousands of years. Accidents may create havoc on a large scale.Uranium, the primary energy source, is estimated to be available only for the next 30 to 60 years without the use of high-efficiency breeder reactors.
