Currently, Germany is emphasizing the scale of energy production & agricultural crop production by using solar panels simultaneously (avoiding nuclear techniques) on the same farmland, whereas Bangladesh is adopting only nuclear techniques for development.
For developing countries nuclear power is relatively one of the most cost-effective and reliable energy compared to other sources. Nuclear energy is a promising alternate and reliable energy resource for future electricity needs. However, there are numerous drawbacks to nuclear energy to consider, particularly its environmental impact in the future. Other than the initial cost of construction, the cost of generating electricity is cheaper and more sustainable than other forms of energy but uranium, is not found in every country, by creating nuclear power plants based on uranium, many developing countries give off the impression to nations unaligned with them that they are looking to enter into new trade deals. advantages are, One of the most low-carbon energy sources, It also has one of the smallest carbon footprints, It's one of the answers to the energy gap, It's essential to our response to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions and reliable and cost-effective. But some disadvantages are also there, Expensive Initial Cost to Build. Construction of a new nuclear plant can take anywhere from 5-10 years to build, costing billions of dollars. Risk of Accident, Radioactive Waste, Limited Fuel Supply, Impact on the Environment.

The use of 5 to 10 years for the building of a nuclear plant is very liberal..
The latest US plants are taking 20 to 30 years and the cost is skyroicketing.

cFor example the Vogtl plant to create a so called nuclear renaissance was scheduled at some
For example of the very high cost of nuclear is Vogtl plant pencilled in from some 12 billion USD and coming in over schedule and about 3 times the cost.
If solar panels break down, they are easy to repair and farmlands in vicinity are still usable. On other hand, if nuclear reactor breaks down, it is very hard and expensive to repair and farmlands in vicinity are not usable otherwise the country will experience high rate of cancer for few hundred or thousand years because it is a circular event and long half-life. Don't forget that if people have one choice of two options: food or electricity, they will pick food. Nuclear reactors are declared technically safe but majority accidents (Fukushima, Chernobyl, Chalk River, and WindScale) are caused by human beings and they cannot be prevented. To answer your question: Advantage - you may get a centralized and continuous source of electricity for time being that can be easily controlled by government or centralized institution. Disadvantage - economically, militarily and from engineering point of view, it is very expensive, makes the country vulnerable and technically impractical and progress stiffing.
