Abstract
This study presents a thorough analysis of nuclear energy along with how it is unsuitable as a long-term replacement for the prevailing primary sources of fuel, like oil, coal, and gas. Nuclear energy was assumed to be a utopian power supply source and peaked in usage in the United States by 1990. Despite providing ten percent of the world's electricity and becoming the second largest source for low-carbon power, nuclear energy has been on a rapid decline ever since. Various factors including international diplomacy, adherence to treaty agreements, and negative public perception regarding nuclear energy have made government investment unsustainable, resulting in nuclear energy being irrelevant. It also causes much political rancor due to its high cost and trading issues in addition to concerns with nuclear meltdowns and weapons proliferation. Regardless of the instances against nuclear energy, developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia, still seem to favor a widespread adoption of nuclear energy, even though it is just theorized as of now.
