The byproducts from nuclear energy plants pose a threat to the environment and public health if they are not disposed of properly. There is always a small chance of a complete meltdown of a nuclear plant, which would contaminate the environment for miles around the site.

How do human-built nuclear power plants on earth generte energy?
nuclear fission
What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
When energy changes from one from another?
When energy changes from one form to another it is through a process called transduction. This is done by a transducer, which is anything that converts energy. The human body converts chemical energy to heat and physical energy, nuclear reactors change heat energy to electrical energy, etc...
How human get energy?
human get energy by food.
What are the consequences for nuclear weapons?
human extinction.
The greatest threat to man's existence caused by human changes to the environment is?
The greatest threat to man's existence caused by human changes to the environment would be deforestation. This is because it releases carbon dioxide into the air, decreases oxygen, and kills organisms.
What element is using nuclear energy?
The human element.

How does the human race utilize nuclear energy?
Basically, nuclear energy is used in two ways: * In nuclear reactors, to generate electricity. * In nuclear bombs (atom bombs) to cause destruction on a large scale.
The most threat of human health from water supplies?
Nuclear waste, but depends on what you mean...
What if your body converts chemical energy to all of the following EXCEPT?
Nuclear energy is the only energy that the human body does not produce.
What are the major threats the Environment?
Human kind is a major threat even to its selfand the enviroment , and nbc(nuclear biological chemical)
What are two major threats to the environment?
Human kind is a major threat even to its selfand the enviroment , and nbc(nuclear biological chemical)
What does the human body is nuclear powered mean?
Everything, so to speak, is nuclear powered, because everything ultimately gets its energy from the Sun, and the Sun's energy is fusion nuclear power. This includes the food we eat and the raw materials we are made of.
What are some of the effects on the human body of a nuclear explosion?
Some of the effects on the human body from a nuclear explosion are death (from thermal energy/blast effects or super lethal radiation exposure), infertility and blood disorders.
When was In the End of Human Existence created?
In the End of Human Existence was created in 2008-06.
