Detailed Solution

The significant hazards and limitations of Nuclear Power generation are:
●       Proper management of nuclear waste
●       Decomposition of uranium
●       Accidental leakage of uranium.
The process in which a heavy nucleus breaks into two nearly equal fragments and a tremendous amount of energy is released. This process is called nuclear fission.
In nuclear fission, atoms split apart, which releases energy.
"A nuclear reactor, or a nuclear power plant, is a series of machines that can control the nuclear reaction and the heat produced".
The heat produced by a nuclear reactor is used to make steam which is then passed to a turbine. The turbine blades turn, and they drive a generator that produces electricity.
The significant hazard of nuclear power generation is the storage and disposal of fuels. There is also a risk of accidental leakage of Nuclear radiation.
