Question

Which of the following is an advantage of nuclear power over the burning of fossil fuels as a source of electricity?

Answer 1

Nuclear power does not cause air pollution.

Nuclear energy is the energy released from an atom's nucleus. When nuclear reaction occurs weather fission or fusion, it produces large amount of energy. It is basically produced using two main processes; fission and fusion. Nuclear fission is able to generate well over 10 million times the energy which is produced by the combustion of fossil fuels.

Another advantages can include:

1. Reliability: Most nuclear reactors are designed to operate for more than 40 years.

2. No greenhouse gas emission: Nuclear reactor operations emit zero greenhouse gasses.

3. Competitive Cost: The cost of nuclear power is very much stable and competitive.

Is more compact, Safer, among other advantages versus Fossil fuels.
