Nuclear energy is one of the most controversial forms of generating energy due to the stigma that has developed as a result of environmental disasters in some environmental plants such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, the European Commission in 2020 a technical report on the impact of forms used by human beings for energy supply, later, nuclear energy was classified as green energy, an act that was soon questioned with great rejection by some states in the European Union. This paper analyzes part of the empirical evidence presented by said report and the position of some experts and governments in order to provide the reader with a clear and simple overview of the convenience of using nuclear energy as an alternative to insufficient energy supply of existing renewable energies and how it can contribute to the energy transition.Downloads
