For:
Cheap
Clean
Plentiful
Compact
Against:
-Radioactive materials could be dispersed into the ground or air if something went wrong, however unlikely. Workers inside the plant could be hurt by this radioactive material as well.
-Spent fuel needs to be stored safely.
-Radioactive materials could be stolen and used by terrorists.

It’s a very clean source, can be sourced very very easily. Waste not too much of a problem, it’s stored deep underground for many years, and often waste is left over uranium, which is used in other applications.
It’s not all that cheap, as new plants need to made, and specialized physicists and other staff need employing. Also there are many ethical reasons why nuclear power is bad, but as it stands I feel there isn’t enough going into this industry.

For – no carbon emissions, low transport costs for fuel (low volume)
Against – huge set up and decommissioning costs ( site remains unusable for 1000s of years after decommissioning) .
release of radioactivity into the environment.

i believe that nuclear energy is dangerous due to the incidents in japan (2011) where the rods reached air and basically the authorities had to make a 50km barrier around the area. Thats why i dislike nuclear stuff theres bombs and everything.
