Lastly, this energy has a continuous supply. With huge reserves, its supply is believed to last much longer than that of fossil

41、fuels. In brief, there are certain advantages in using nuclear energy in place of the conventional energy. Nevertheless, the difficulty in disposing of radioactive waste is still its big drawback. Hence, international cooperation is required to make sure nuclear energy is developed in strict adheren
