???? Is Nuclear Energy Truly Green? Let’s Dive Into the Debate!

#Nuclear power is one of the most controversial energy sources — hailed by some as a key solution to decarbonization, while others raise concerns over waste, safety, and long-term sustainability. But what does the research say?

Here’s a ?????????????? ???????? ???? ?????????????????????? ?????????????? examining nuclear energy’s environmental impact from three perspectives:
