No.
Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon.
(Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.

What is the difference between coal power plants and nuclear power plants?
because coal power plants use coal and nuclear power plants use nuclear energy to make electricity!!
What is an advantage of nuclear power plants over coal power plants?
Nuclear power plants don't release greenhouse gases. Coal power plants are cheaper to build.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
How do power plants pollute the environment?
from the process of the coal getting into electricty
What is an advantage of nuclear power plants over coal power plant?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What is advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plant?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
Which produces more radioactivity in the atmosphere coal fire power plants or nuclear power plants?
Coal fired plants.
Does nuclear power pollute?
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
Is a coal power plant or nuclear power plant better?
Lets start off with the dangers of both Coal and nuclear power plants: A coal power plant pollutes a lot of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming and climate change. A Nuclear power plant can lead to a meltdown which can kill from radiation exposure, but does not pollute any CO2's. So in short a Nuclear power plant is 1% to 50% better than a coal power plant.
Compare and contrast coal power plants and energy in hearing?
coal uses fossil fuels and nuclear power plants doesn't
What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?
The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.
How do the three types of power plants make electricity?
Nuclear, coal-fired, and hydroelectric power plants provide electricity.
