Advantage: Countries with them get real nervous about warfare with each other since it could escalate to a big mess, so can help maintain peace. India and Pakistan are an obvious exception since they had already been at it so long in pre-nuclear years.
Disadvantage: Disallowed for use as an acceptable first-strike weapon on the world stage, since any use is viewed as inviting the genie out of the bottle. Basically all weapons of mass destruction have been disallowed due to inevitable collateral losses.

the reward incorporate: no greenhouse gases produced, somewhat a lot of potential to conceal super grids, much less pollution. The hazards are the reality that they may be risky if opperated inproperly, nuclear waste is rather confusing to get rid of, and extreme operation expenses.

Advantage: If your enemy has a gun and he's willing to shoot you, you must also have a gun so that he should think before shooting you.
