The primary similarities between the nuclear power generation and conventional power generation are as follows-

(1) Both the type of power generation is used to produce electricity.

(2) Both the power generation types are responsible for the transformation of energy from mechanical to electrical energy.

The differences between the nuclear power generation and conventional power generation are as follows-

(1) In case of nuclear power generation, it is clean, more efficient and reliable to use in comparison to the conventional power generation, as it does not emit any green house gas such as carbon dioxide, methane. But it does release some radioactive waste materials.

(2) There is abundant Uranium on earth, which is the main element that drives the nuclear power generation. So this power generation process will be carried out for a longer period of time. On the other hand, fossil fuels are limited, so it will end soon.
