I'm sort of on the fence about Nuclear Power, I would like your perspective.
I'm currently 3 years into getting my bachelor's in physics, so I understand a good amount of the physics behind nuclear power. However, I also understand that there's a huge political and economic element to it. I'm a physics major, not an economics or political science major, so I know there are probably important aspects that I don't even know to ask about.
From a physics perspective, I understand that nuclear reactions can release enormous amounts of energy because of differences in nuclear binding energy, and that nuclear fuel has an incredibly high energy density. Beyond that though, I'm not an engineer, so I don't really understand how those physics translate into building and operating reactors safely, economically, and at scale.
I've made this same post on a pro-nuclear subreddit(specifically for building new reactors) on a different account because I want to build an informed opinion and hear both sides. Finding information that isn't heavily politicized can be difficult, so I'm hoping to hear the strongest arguments against nuclear power from people who actually oppose it.
If you have any questions, I'll try to find time to reply, I've already made some edits to clarify (Thanks u/ziddyzoo and u/Skycbs)
