What are the advantages and the disadvantages for nuclear power?

Nuclear power offers several advantages, including low greenhouse gas emissions during operation, a high energy output from a small fuel volume, and a reliable energy supply that can operate independently of weather conditions. However, disadvantages include the high costs of plant construction and decommissioning, the potential for catastrophic accidents, and the unresolved issue of long-term storage for radioactive waste. Additionally, public perception and regulatory hurdles can hinder the development of new nuclear facilities.
