What are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power generation? Is nuclear power safe?

Is nuclear power generation safe

Harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emitted by thermal power stations will continue to be discharged into the atmosphere, and a small amount of uranium, titanium, radium and other radioactive substances in coal will fall to the vicinity of thermal power stations with soot, polluting the environment. On the contrary, nuclear power plants set up layers of barriers, basically do not emit environmental substances, even radioactive pollution is much less than coal-fired power stations.

According to statistics, the normal operation of nuclear power plants, a year to the residents of the radioactive impact, less than an X-ray by the dose. Since the first nuclear power plant was built, there have been about 400 nuclear power plants in operation around the world, which have been basically safe and normal for more than 30 years. Although there are Three Mile Island pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant accident in the United States in 1979 and Chernobyl graphite boiling water reactor nuclear power plant accident in the Soviet Union in 1986. But it's all due to human factors. As pressurized water reactor technology improves, nuclear power plants have the potential to become safer.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power generation, because nuclear energy has three advantages of economy, safety and pollution-free, the development of nuclear energy alternative carbon-based fuel is one of the practical and effective measures to implement the sustainable development strategy, prevent pollution and protect the ecological environment.
