It can be easily adopted where water and coal resources are not available. The nuclear power plant requires very small quantity of fuel. Hence fuel transportation cost is less. Space requirement is less compared to other power plants of equal capacity. It is not affected by adverse weather conditions. Fuel storage facilities are not needed as in the case of the thermal power plant. Nuclear power plants will converse the fossils fuels (coal, petroleum) for other energy needs. Number of workmen required at nuclear plant is far less than thermal plant. It does not require large quantity of water.
