Detailed explanation-1: -Which is an advantage of safely using uranium as an energy source rather than using coal? Uranium produces energy without polluting the atmosphere, while burning coal can increase the CO2 in the atmosphere. Uranium reduces the amount of thermal pollution, while burning coal can increase the amount of thermal pollution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Uranium is the raw material used to create fuel – it comes from stable regions around the world and is widely available. This dependability means nuclear power is a long-term and low-carbon option. However, we need enough power stations to process it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Uranium is the primary source of fuel for nuclear power plants, which provides large-scale low-carbon baseload electricity for more than 30 countries around the world and is the world’s second largest source of low-carbon electricity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy, because unlike coal, oil or gas power plants, nuclear power plants practically do not produce CO2 during their operation. Nuclear reactors generate close to one-third of the world’s carbon free electricity and are crucial in meeting climate change goals.
