hi! i’ll give 3 for each

pros- low cost, high energy density, low pollution

cons- risk of accident/tragedy, radioactive waste, limited fuel supply

sorry if this wasn’t descriptive enough, these are just some main ideas for the question. if you’d like to research more on individual pros/cons you should visit the website kiwienergy.us

Answer:

The pros and cons are simple.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the cost is fairly low. Generating electricity in a nuclear power plant is cost-competitive to fossil fuels and renewable environmentally-friendly resources. This is despite the fact that the initial construction costs are often several billion dollars and there are ongoing enrichment and waste disposal issues that must be managed. Because it is such an affordable energy resource, it allows most people to have access to the power they need for the modern life.

HOWEVER, it contains a negative impact to our precious enviorment. It destroys this whole Earth.
