Advantages of Nuclear Power for Base Load Energy
Nuclear power is a favorable option for base load power because it generates the least CO2 emissions per unit of power produced, making it more environmentally friendly compared to wind and solar energy. Although nuclear waste is a concern, the amount generated is relatively small. Safety and waste disposal are the main challenges with nuclear power, but Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a promising solution by making the reactors safer and reducing the risk of meltdowns.
