Nuclear power provides a large amount of energy with a small carbon footprint but generates harmful nuclear waste that pollutes the environment, causes genetic mutations and illness, and is difficult to dispose of. It works through nuclear fission of uranium atoms, which creates energy that is then converted into usable power, but leaves behind long-lasting nuclear waste as a problematic byproduct.

Benefits: Nuclear power grants lots of energy, and it is relatively cheap and easy, and it provides tons of energy that powers the world, and it leaves a very small carbon footprint, Cons: It leaves behind a large amount of nuclear waste, which is harmful to the environment and can ruin ecosystems, it can also cause genetic mutations and Cancer. Effect To Environment: As previously mentioned, it leaves behind nuclear waste, which is very harmful to environment, causing mutations and illness, it also pollutes water, and can cause a lack of non contaminated materials for animals and humans to use, the nuclear waste is also hard to remove or get rid of. How It Works: Nuclear power is caused by using nuclear fission, or the splitting of uranium atoms to cause a surge of energy which is then converted into the energy that can be used to power electronics
