5 advantages of nuclear energy? |
| Answer» Advantages of Nuclear Energy :1) Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy, as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence, a large amount of electricity can be generated.2) The biggest advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not generate any greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide , ozone , methane etc.)3) Nuclear reactor uses uranium as fuel and we have high reserves of uranium in earth.4) Nuclear fuel does not produce pollutant gases like carbon dioxide so it contribute to the greenhouse effect. It also does not produce Sulphur Dioxide so it does not cause acid rain.5) Once the nuclear fuel like uranium 235 is loaded into the reactor, the nuclear power plant can go on producing electricity for 2 to 3 years or for a long span of time at a stretch. There is no need for putting in nuclear fuel again and again. | |
