Can the use of nuclear energy be justified? What are the facts, stastistics & case studies regarding this? Thanks

Of course it can, or we wouldn't use it. Since you asked a question with such a massive scope, I'm just going to point you in the direction of some research. Start with the wiki page, it's pretty accurate:
