Name the process used to generate nuclear energy. List two elements commonly used for the generation of nuclear energy. Give two reasons which make the large scale use of nuclear energy prohibitive.
The process by which nuclear energy is generated is nuclear fission. Uranium and Plutonium commonly used for this.
Major hazard of nuclear power generation-
(1) Risk of accidental leakage of nuclear radiations
(2) Radioactive wastes is very harmful for environment.
(3) Expensive to set up nuclear plant.
