What are nuclear power plants:
A nuclear power plant is a place where the energy from splitting uranium atoms is used to heat water, produce steam, and generate electricity through a turbine and generator.
The advantages of building more nuclear power plants:
Produces a lot of energy – A small amount of nuclear fuel gives huge amounts of power.
Low carbon emissions – It does not release greenhouse gases like coal or gas plants.
Reliable – Works 24/7, unlike solar or wind which depend on weather.
Reduces use of fossil fuels – Helps fight climate change.
Creates jobs – In construction, operation, and maintenance.
The disadvantages of building more nuclear power plants:
Radioactive waste – Dangerous and needs safe storage for thousands of years.
Risk of accidents – Leaks or explosions (like Chernobyl or Fukushima) can be deadly.
High cost – Very expensive to build and maintain.
Terrorism target – Can be misused if not protected well.
Takes years to build – Not a quick solution for energy problems.
