Nuclear energy

Is nuclear a green energy source?

It's quite interesting to observe that a lot of debate is going on out there whether nuclear can be considered as a clean (hence green) technology or not.

It's known that nuclear power does not produce green house gases as a direct consequence of power production, which means it can possibly provide a good alternative to conventional energy sources like fossil fuels.

However, dealing with used nuclear fuel remains a major concern. So how green is nuclear technology?

Food for thought.
