What are the advantages and disadvantages of fission?

Advantages of Nuclear Fission

Nuclear fission provides cheapest energy. Almost 10% of electricity used in the world is obtained from the fission reaction It offers a low-emission energy solution since there is no carbon dioxide gas emitted during the nuclear fission reaction A well controlled and maintained nuclear reactor can produce energy for 36 to 40 months so works for. It is a reliable source of energy as energy is obtained from uranium which is available is plenty. It provides very concentrations of energy as it can provide large amount of energy from small amount of fuel. The reaction gives less annual mortality rate of any energy resource with 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt hours

Disadvantages of Nuclear Fission

It is dangerous and also explosive. It creates harmful and radioactive waste products. It is not a renewable energy resource like solar and wind energy It can develop long-term health issues for people exposed to then radioactive waves. It involves high cost in installation of the reactors.
