Detailed explanation-1: -Disadvantages of nuclear energy: Nuclear power generates waste from the material used and there are concerns about possible accidents or leaks, since uranium is not a renewable source, at least not for now. One of the drawbacks of this material is its high radioactivity, as well as having a very long half life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like all radioactive material, radioactive wastes will naturally decay over time. Once the radioactive material has decayed sufficiently, the waste is no longer hazardous. However, the time it will take for the radioactive material to decay will range from a few hours to hundreds of thousands of years.
Detailed explanation-3: -The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal. Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.
Detailed explanation-4: -There is no long-term storage solution. The future is unpredictable. It contaminates the environment. Persistent health effects. Hazardous waste cleanup. Reprocessing nuclear waste is harmful. Nuclear proliferation. 27-Dec-2017
