  • Produces more energy than coal
  • Reliable source of energy

Disadvantages

  • Nuclear fuels are non renewable
  • Longest start-up time
  • Expensive to build
  • Produce radioactive waste

Evaluation

Overall although nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste and take a long time to start up, they do not release harmful gases like  carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
