Question

Inspite of being non-polluting, why are there great apprehensions in using nuclear energy for generating electricity?

Answer 1

At first, nuclear power was praised as a clean source of electricity. It was later discovered that there are two extremely significant inherent issues with using nuclear energy. Accidental leaks, like those that happened at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, are the first, and the safe disposal of radioactive wastes is the second.
