One of the advantages of using nuclear energy in Malaysia is that it can generate low prices electricity compared to the other source (Kok, 2009). Rates for nuclear energy are presumably cheaper than power generated from other sources such as coal and gas. This is because the source of nuclear energy which is Uranium is available in large amount (Pan, 2008). When a certain material or source is available in large amount the price is cheap. The cost of Uranium is cheaper than any other source; the cost has dropped over the last 26 years compared to other energy (Pan, 2008). The usage of Uranium is far lower than fuel, meaning an energy produced from dozen tons of fuel is nearly the same as energy produced from tons of Uranium.

The second advantages of using nuclear energy are the nuclear energy waste product is clean. According to (Abhijit, 2010), the creation of nuclear energy does not contribute to environmental problem. A research by (Abhijit, 2010) found that nuclear energy produce less polluting than the coal and petroleum because can generate electricity with n...
