What are the drawbacks of using nuclear energy?

(N/A) The major hazard of nuclear power generation is the storage and disposal of spent or used fuel. Improper nuclear waste storage and disposal result in environmental contamination. Further,there is a risk of accidental leakage of nuclear radiation. The high cost of installation of a nuclear power plant,high risk of environmental contamination,and limited availability of uranium make the large-scale use of nuclear energy prohibitive.
