How nuclear energy is different from other source of energy (fuel, hydro, wind, solar) that makes uranium hazardous than those, and what justify nuclear energy is relevant in the first place?
Sorry if the questions don’t really relate to each other. They’re just running wild in my mind. Sorry for the bad english – english is not my first language.

The key component of nuclear energy is that you are using radioactive decay to generate heat, that heat is then used to boil water which is then used to spin a turbine which is then used to generate electricity.
So the initial source of energy, radioactive decay, is that makes it different from say coal, which uses the energy from burning coal to spin a turbine, or wind, which uses energy from the wind to spin a turbine, or hydro, which uses energy from water flowing downhill to spin a turbine
