PLTN can produce electrical energy 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Nuclear waste generated from nuclear reactors must be processed and stored very carefully because it can produce dangerous radiation.
Nuclear power plants do not produce significant greenhouse gas and air pollution.
PLTN can operate for years without the need for fuel filling.
