No matter how small the probability, safety concerns with nuclear power plants pose a real and finite danger. The purpose of a nuclear power plant is to produce electricity for supporting increases in consumption of other electrical uses like power and other things. In spite of its many benefits, nuclear power often falls under fire because of the many disadvantages it brings. After the uranium splits to generate heat, the resulting byproducts are radioactive, which means they need to be removed in a safe way. Even though power plants have undergone recycling efforts of this waste product in recent years, storing the byproduct can lead to contamination through various containment failures. Uranium is currently the sole raw material for generating nuclear energy. Nuclear power is a limited resource. Most countries which use nuclear energy rely on other countries for the constant fuel supply. Since its mined like any other metal, uranium’s availability is limited. Once we extract it all, nuclear plants will be rendered useless. Uranium cannot be called a renewable source due to its limited supply and hazardous
