Nuclear power plants operate at much higher capacity factors than renewable energy sources or fossil fuels. Capacity factor is a measure of what percentage of the time a power plant actually produces energy. It’s a problem for all intermittent energy sources. The sun doesn’t always shine, nor the wind always blow, nor water always fall through the turbines of a dam.

Low greenhouse gas emission compared to fossil fuels. Compared to coal, gas, and other electric-generating plants, nuclear offers the lowest by far in greenhouse gas release.

Although nonrenewable, nuclear energy produces little waste. The common method is to make use of the uranium-235 isotope in nuclear fission, where it is fused with plutonium to generate heat. A more effective way is to utilize thorium, but the method is not fully developed.
Radioactive waste is also not a serious issue. Water is a very good insulator of radiation. It is so good that you can swim on top of a swimming pool where there is radioactive waste at the bottom. Accidents can be minimized with attention to detail.

1. Low greenhouse gas emission compared to fossil fuels. Compared to coal, gas, and other electric-generating plants, nuclear offers the lowest by far in greenhouse gas release.

According to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), nuclear energy produces more clean-air energy than any other source. It produces 62 percent of all emission-free electricity in the United States.

2. High energy efficiency:
A relatively small amount of uranium can be used to fuel a 1000 Megawatts electric plant, providing enough electricity to power a city of about half a million people.

Renewable sources, such as solar and wind, provide only enough power to meet residential or office needs. They don’t yet have the capacity of nuclear to handle large-scale power needs, especially in the manufacturing world.

When the energy demand is ever-rising with increased level of industrialization and living standard of people. Energy is crucial to a country's economy, e.g. to make cosmetics, while more private cars bought with rising purchasing power also raises the demand for energy sources. Fossil fuels are unevenly distributed, hence many countries which have insufficient fossil fuel resources will easily be controlled by other nations which are rich in oil.
Therefore, when the energy supply cannot reach its demand, nuclear power is needed to solve the current energy crisis.

1. high energy density
2. low cost
-->The initial construction costs of nuclear power plants are large. On top of this, when the power plants first have been built, we are left with the costs to enrich and process the nuclear fuel (e.g. uranium), control and get rid of nuclear waste, as well as the maintenance of the plant.  The reason this is under advantages is that nuclear energy is cost-competitive. Generating electricity in nuclear reactors is cheaper than electricity generating from oil, gas and coal, not to speak of the renewable energy sources!
3. sustainable
4. less pollution (?

nuclear energy is a good alternative

1. efficient bc only 1 neutron hitting the radioactive elements can lead to chain reaction so little energy is used to power nuclear reactors

2. it should not affect residents if managed properly (ie A good site of nuclear power station that is far away from residential areas, radioactive waste is dumped properly)
Limitation: Therefore it should be a good choice for more developed countries

3. fossil fuels are going to be used up one day anyways + renewable energy is not properly developed at the moment-> you need support frm nuclear

4. nuclear waste is cleaner than fossil fuels bc no air pollution (unlike fossil fuels which release stuff in the atmosphere leading to air pollution)

# data[].attributes.body
In a world where demand for energy is rising so rapidly, there is no way for the renewable energy sources to fulfill ALL the demand (they just account for a small portion of energy sources)
Other renewable energy sources have all sorts of constraints, (e.g. tidal power can only be used along coasts with high tidal range)

It has a high efficiency and can meet the demands brought by rising population and economic development.
It is estimated that with the current rate of consumption of uranium, we have enough uranium for another 70-80 years. It can serve as a more environmentally friendly energy source as we completely eliminate all non-renewable energy.
