The importance of the nuclear power to energy security is becoming increasingly clear as it is the only large-scale, carbon-free electricity source that can widely be expanded to produce large amounts of electricity. Moreover, fission surface power is necessary in places where solar power, wind power, and hydropower are not readily available. The well maintained and protected nuclear power plants can prove to be a boon to meet the society's growing energy demand but the fear of break down or leakage of nuclear radiations as well as nuclear waste disposal has always kept people skeptical about the setting up or expansion of nuclear power plants near their vicinity. But with the technological advances in all the spheres of nuclear power generation e.g., safety, efficiency, waste disposal management, recycling and storage of nuclear fuel will be an important next step for the nuclear power industry and the benefit of power consumers.
