Nuclear waste is extremely dangerous, hard, and costly to deal with.

Nuclear disasters are also very important and one of the major downsides of nuclear energy. Take Chernobyl for an example, the radiation produced by nuclear energy can cause plants animals and humans to suffer from diseases, mutations, and malfunctions. They also cosmetically damage skin and the environment with chemicals.
