</span><span>Small fuel transportation volumes as the fissionable material just isn't that big or heavy compared to equivalent fossil fuel BTU sources.
</span><span>Low CO2 per MWH on a full life cycle basis. ~12 grams which is only slightly more than wind / solar.
This is a reason nuclear is a much better source for one of the major pressing problems of today than fossil fuels: global warming.</span>No particulate matter pollution.No sulfur dioxide or other chemical pollution.<span>Low fatalities per TWH. 
Nuclear is higher than renewables according to current statistics, but much, much lower than fossil fuel generation.</span></span>

Association areas are involved with more complex functions such as learning, decision making and complex movements such as writing.

-Association cortex is the cerebral cortex outside the primary areas, The majority of the cortex is composed of this area. It is essential for mental functions that are more complex than detecting basic dimensions of sensory stimulation.
