What are the disadvantages of nuclear energy and thermal power plant?
DISADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
1. Initial installation cost is very high as compared to the other power station. 2. Nuclear fuel is very much expensive and it is difficult to recover.
Which is not a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
Which is NOT a disadvantage of nuclear energy? Air pollution occurs while the nuclear plant is active. Nuclear power plants are very difficult to build. Acquiring nuclear fuel requires mining.
Do nuclear power plants affect the environment?
Nuclear power plants use uranium as fuel. The process of mining uranium releases high amounts of carbon dioxide into the environment. Carbon dioxide is also released into the environment when new nuclear power plants are built. Finally, the transport of radioactive waste also causes carbon dioxide emissions.
What are the advantages of nuclear energy quizlet?
Advantages of the conventional nuclear cycle include: low environmental impacts; low CO2 emissions; low risk of accidents in modern plants.
