The use of nuclear power for electricity generation is still a heavily disputed issue. Aside from technical risks, safety issues, and the unsolved problem of nuclear waste disposal, the economic performance is currently a major barrier.

At the same time, the costs of alternatives such as photovoltaics and wind power have significantly decreased.
