3. ABSTRACT
Nuclear Power is probably the least glamorous of the four alternative energy forms
because of its reputation. Unlike solar power, where the primary barrier to use it are cost,
the problem of pollution and possible ecological hazard remains at the forefront of most
people's minds. Several key nuclear disasters have caused this impression in most of the
world.
Nuclear power plants are not located according to specific attributes of geography, and are
therefore found all over the world. Although as coin have two sides, nuclear power plants
also have many merits and demerits. The present status of nuclear energy and future is also
discussed further.
