yes. they are one of the major source of air pollution. they burn a lot of fossil fuel that is harmful to the environment.
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
from the process of the coal getting into electricty
Radiation leaks can get into the air if not contained properly and cause cancer.
it benefits the environment
Wind, solar, tidal, wave, hydro do not pollute, though they have some effect on the environment through visual effects if nothing else. Nuclear has hardly any pollution as well.
As INPO, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators, there are three special characteristsics of nuclear power, as compared to other industries:1) Nuclear material is radioactive.2) Nuclear power plants contain all of their fuel for one fuel cycle (18-24 months) in their cores.3) Nuclear reactors must maintain cooling systems even after the nuclear reaction has been shut down, due to latent heat production from the fuel.
Pollute the environment :L
Nothing has no impact to the environment. However, nuclear power, when all things are considered, has the least impact.
No, nuclear power maintains environment non pollution as it does emit green house gases and do not contribute to global warming and environment pollution.
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
it can cause wastelands and contamination to the environment
