    1. The advantages of nuclear energy are as follows:
      • Large amount of energy is produced per unit mass.
      • It does not produce smoke. It is a clean energy.
      • Fission of one atom of uranium produces 10 million times the energy released by burning of one atom of carbon.
      • Fusion of four hydrogen atoms produces huge amount of energy.

    2. The Advantages of Nuclear Energy are:
      1. Inexpensive- Nuclear power plants incur low operational costs because they rely on relatively simple operations.
      2. Environmentally Friendly- Compared with other types of energy, nuclear power stands out as an environmentally friendly energy source.
      3. Requires Low Amounts of Fuel.
      4. Stability.
      5. High Degree of Safety.

    3. The advantages of nuclear energy are that :

      1. It produces a large amount of useful energy from a very small amount of a nuclear fuel (like uranium-235).
      2. Once the nuclear fuel (like uranium-235) is loaded into the reactor, the nuclear power plant can go on producing electricity for two to three years at a stretch. There is no need for putting in nuclear fuel again and again.
      3. It does not produce gases like carbon dioxide which contributes to greenhouse effect or sulphur dioxide which causes acid rain.

    4. Advantages of nuclear energy are as follows:
      1. A small amount of radioactive material can generate a huge amount of energy.
      2. It does not produce air pollution.
      3. A nuclear power plant is more efficient than other power plants.
