5 Fusion Energy

All operating nuclear power plants today are based on the principle of fission of heavy nuclei (uranium and plutonium). Fission nuclear power plants are technologically advanced enough, so they are relatively easy to build, economically viable, and technologically quite sophisticated. However, fission energy and its extraction have certain disadvantages, such as:Limited access to raw materials for fuel.

Potential hazard due to large amount of radioactive material.

Larger amount of radioactive waste (spent fuel); the storage of radioactive waste is technologically demanding and a huge stress to the environment.
