Since all it gives off is steam there is no air pollution.
Nuclear power plants produce a big amount of energy to supply to cities.
PROS:
Nuclear power also is good because it is inexpensive.

Cons:
1. A safe way to dispose of Uranium. 2. There is always that risk of a major accident. It would take a lot of money to repair, and the human casualties are uncertain. 3. It is expensive for the nuclear waste.

Source of Energy
It is released from the nucleus of an atom. It happens either by Fission (spliting the atom apart) or Fusion (combining two atoms to form a larger atom). The fuel most commonly used is Uranium.

Nuclear fission boils the water that it is in to create steam that turns a turbine to create energy.

Other Nuclear Power information:Three Mile Island (TMI) is the closest power plant near us. The plant is located on the Susquehanna river.
In 1935 President Dwight D. Eisenhower holds a speech called "Atoms of Peace". In his speech he talked about Nuclear atoms should be used for peaceful uses and not harmful uses.
Nuclear power gives off no emissions.
