Not from nuclear effects, though any large industrial plant built in a rural area must have some effect just due to the buildings where previously it was open country

What is a good Slogan on protection of plants and wildlife?
you kill them, we kill you
Does nuclear energy blow up?
No. Define "blow up". Power plants have malfunctions that can kill people, unrelated to nuclear fuel. Nuclear elements can be arranged to blow up but you have to get everything exactly right. More danger exists from exposure to the fuel, if it has been activated.
What can a atom bomb cause?
The atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons can kill entire cities, make air quality unsafe, and kill plants and animals.
How does nuclear power kill you?
Nuclear power itself does not kill you unless there is a steam explosion like at Chernobyl. It is the radiation either from fission products or direct neutron bombardment which will do that, and the effects of excessive radiation are well known and documented.
Do nuclear power stations harm animals?
If the operators of the plant in question discharge water back into the nearest body of water at too high of a temperature, it will kill fish, plants, and micro-organisms.
How does nuclear power harm fish?
The greatest harm to fish from nuclear power, in terms of the numbers of fish killed so far, has been due to thermal pollution. The nuclear power produced at plants is only about 35% turned into electrical power. The remainder is called waste heat. When rivers, lakes, or the sea are heated up, it can kill fish. In some cases this has a profound effect on the species in the water. Nuclear power plants have lost radioactive materials into large bodies of water, harming sea and land life. Possibly the worst such event involved loss of material from the Sellafield plant in the U. K. into the Irish Sea.
Does fossil fuel kill trees?
If fossil fuels are used to power plants, this can kill trees. The pollution that comes from the plants can cause plants to die.
What are the positive sides of nuclear power?
It's greener and safer than fossil fuel power plants, but produces far more energy than wind or solar power plants. For example, coal power plants produce the same amount of radiation as Three Mile Island every few days, and produce extremely large amounts of particulate pollution, which kill the same number of people as Chernobyl every few weeks. Wind turbines cost about the same amount as nuclear plants, per watt, but to produce the same amount of energy, they require 300 times as much land.
What are the risks of a nuclear power plants?
The impacts of a properly run nuclear power plant are limited to thermal pollution associated with cooling water discharges.I fit is a heavy water reactor there is a risk of discharge of heavy water to receiving water courses and a small amount of tritium.A:There is really no dangers to having a nuclear power plant because when they reverse the water back into the lake from hot to cold they have a closed off part so they want kill any fish. Some of you may be asking about global warming and environmental damage but he has very little co2 emissions so it is a very good alternative to keeping costs down.The only minor defect is that they strip mine uranium.Strip mining uranium can be a good source to help us in the future.The government can benefit on nuclear power plants because they can take the used plutonium and make those into nuclear bombs for future wars. if you have any more questions about nuclear power plants visit the nuclear power board of commission.
What are the disadvantages of nulcear energy?
2 nations, the United States and Russia have enough nuclear weapons to kill every single living organism on the face of Earth. These 2 nations may not fire them but what if terrorists get their hands on these deadly weapons? <rhetorical question Or if there was a nuclear war? Also accidents in nuclear power plants may occur when there is a hydrogen or radiation leak, causing the factory to explode like a bomb. Nuclear Powere Plants produce hazardous waste that will kill you if you touch it without protective gear. Right now it's being held in coolers.
How is nuclear power stored in source and then released?
When someone poops the consentrated liquid from it can kill a man.
How do earthquakes and tsunamis change human and wildlife habitat?
An earthquake or tsunami can change landforms and kill wildlife.
