would meet the consumption of the earth. While there are some benefits/advantages of building these plants, I would argue that using renewable sources is a better option. On the one hand, investment in nuclear

generation. Another advantage is that setting up a nuclear

system is much larger.
On the other hand

.
Firstly

could pose a serious threat to the environment and people’s health.
For example

As a result

Furthermore
