Efficacy of Nuclear Power Generation

Nuclear power plants generate power using a method that emits far less CO₂ than fossil fuel power generators.
The CO₂ emissions from nuclear power generation over a generator’s lifecycle have been limited to roughly between 1/20 and 1/40 of thermal power generation using fossil fuels.
