Advantages:1. Almost 0 emissions (very low greenhouse gas emissions).
2. They can be sited almost anywhere unlike oil which is mostly imported.
3. The plants almost never experience problems if not from human error, which almost never happens anyway because the plant only needs like 10 people to operate it.
4. A small amount of matter creates a large amount of energy.
5. A lot of energy is generated from a single power plant.
6. Current nuclear waste in the US is over 90% Uranium. If reprocessing were made legal again in the US we would have enough nuclear material to last hundreds of years.
Disadvantages:1. Nuclear plants are more expensive to build and maintain.
2. Proliferation concerns - breeder reactors yield products that could potentially be stolen and turned into an atomic weapon.
3. Waste products are dangerous and need to be carefully stored for long periods of time. The spent fuel is highly radioactive and has to be carefully stored for many years or decades after use. This adds to the costs. There is presently no adequate safe long-term storage for radioactive and chemical waste produced from early reactors, such as those in Hanford, Washington, some of which will need to be safely sealed and stored for thousands of years.
4. Early nuclear research and experimentation has created massive contamination problems that are still uncontained. Recently, for instance, underground contamination emanating from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State in the U.S. was discovered and threatens to contaminate the Columbia River (the largest river in North America west of the continental divide).
