Detailed Solution

The advantages of nuclear energy are the following
●       The energy produced by unit mass is huge
●       Does not produce air pollution
●       Less nuclear fuel is required
There are two types of nuclear energy: Nuclear fission and Nuclear fusion.
Nuclear Fission: A large nucleus breaks into two smaller nuclei to release a large amount of energy.
Nuclear Fusion: Two smaller nuclei join together to form their own nucleus to release a large amount of energy.
The advantages of nuclear fuels are –
●       A large amount of energy is produced by unit mass.
●       It does not produce pollution, so it's a clean fuel, provided the plant is operated properly with most care.
●       Only a small quantity of nuclear fuel is required to run a nuclear plant over a long period of time as compared to thermal power plants.
●       They don't give harmful gases which cause the GreenHouse effect or Acid rain.
