Advantage of Nuclear Power Plants
1. Nuclear Power station reduces the demand for oil coal and gases.
2. Weight of nuclear fuel required for a given station capacity is negligible compared to
that required for a conventional thermal power station. As a result the problems of
transport and resulting costs are avoided.
3. The area and volume need for a nuclear power station is less in comparison to a
conventional power plant of equal capacity.
4. In addition to producing large amount of power, a nuclear power plant produces
valuable fissile material, which is extracted when the fuel is renewed.
