In the past 25 years, there have been over 10 major disasters with fossil fuel energy – the largest of which was the BP oil spill.Nuclear reactors produce radioactive waste which can be difficult to dispose of safely.Nuclear power plants produce power by boiling water to create steam that spins a turbine. The water is heated by a process called fission, which makes heat by splitting apart uranium atoms inside a nuclear reactor core.Nuclear energy comes from uranium, a nonrenewable resource that must be mined.Every 18 to 24 months, a power plant must shut down to remove its spent uranium fuel, which becomes radioactive waste, and then replaced with new uranium.Nuclear fuel is extremely dense. Because of this, the amount of used nuclear fuel is not as big as you think. All of the used nuclear fuel produced by the U.S. nuclear energy industry over the last 60 years could fit on a football field at a depth of less than 10 yards.Nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases while generating electricity. Countries that use the most amount of nuclear energy for electricity (2019)
