Answer:
1. On a levelised (i.e. lifetime) basis, nuclear power is an economic source of electricity generation, combining the advantages of security, reliability and very low greenhouse gas emissions. ... The political risk of higher, specifically-nuclear, taxation adds to these risks.
2. Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste
A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
3. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non-renewable energy source. Although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, the material used in nuclear power plants is not. Uranium is a non-renewable resource. Nuclear energy is a popular way of generating electricity around the world.
4. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
5. Electricity generated from nuclear power is more beneficial than electricity generated by coal because nuclear power decreases the use of coal or carbon use in the environment thereby decreasing the harmful effects.
