The main advantage of nuclear energy is the enormous amount of energy thatcan be obtained from small amounts of "fuel". Uranium 1Kg (which is almost 3 times more dense than steel, meaning that occupies 1/3 of the volume of steel occupy 1kg) gives the same amount of energythat would provide the combustion of 10.000kg of oil. In another way, an amount of uranium content occupying a cup of coffee, energy is obtained such as the amount of oil that fits within aparticular pool 4x2x1'5 meters.
A range of measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions were introduced in the Climate Change Act 2008, which entered into force in November 2008. The actprovided for legally binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of 80% by 2050 (compared with 1990 levels) and 34% by 2020. The act also established the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) toadvise the government on setting and meeting carbon budgets. In July 2009, the government published a white paper setting out a "low carbon transition plan" designed to achieve the 2020 emissionsreduction target. As one of the key steps, the plan reiterated the government's policy of facilitating the building of new nuclear power stations.

The delegation of the United Kingdom is aware of the drawbacks of nuclear power is that their waste requirespecial handling because they are radioactive still dangerous to living things, if not kept isolated and treated properly. Because, for every unit of energy, it takes a very small amount of fuel, andthat it remains solid after use, management is relatively easy. If it is done the proper handling of nuclear waste, it would be possible to use this energy to make it available for humanity.
