Nuclear fission does not produce smog. Nevertheless, the use of nuclear power does not have a zero carbon footprint, and there is unquestionably smog associated with it.
In the United States, nearly all enrichment of uranium is done at a facility that is powered by a coal burning power plant said to be the worst polluting coal plant in the country. This, of course, produces smog.
The mining, refining, and transportation of uranium are all done with equipment typically dependent on petroleum products, and this produces smog.
Building a power plant and decommissioning a power also depend on petroleum for fuel, and so there is smog associated with this.
And since we have no idea how to deal with the waste nuclear fuel, we cannot even comment on smog associated with it.
But the actual nuclear fission does not produce any smog at all.
What else can I help you with?
Do nuclear fission reactors cause air polution?
yes
Is nuclear fission soundless?
There is no sound emitted by the nuclear fissions themselves. Of course if the material is made into a nuclear weapon then there is a loud sound but this is due to the rapid release of energy causing a blast wave in the surrounding air, not the actual fission process itself.
What o you call the dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines with moisture in the air?
A dirty haze resulting from air pollution and air moisture is called smog.
What is 3 advantages of nuclear fission?
it can produce electricitypoopoopopIt is a clean and green source of electricity. Unfortunately, as with many things, the US is far behind the rest of the world in utilizing this form of energy.
How does air pollution affect the air?
Air pollution affects the air because it is smog ozone etc. that stays in the air and pollutes it. because of the ozoneFactories typically do not have a positive effect on air quality. They sometimes generate thick smog, or produce a noxious smell, and may cause problems with the air in the area they are located.
What is the dirty haze that forms when air pollutution combines with moist air?
The dirty haze that forms when air pollution combines with moist air is called smog. Smog is a type of air pollution that is a mixture of smoke and fog, primarily composed of ground-level ozone and particulate matter. It can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
What human activity produce smog?
Smog, or air pollution is created by:Burning of coal to make electricityRunning of Cars, Trucks, Buses, JetsIndustries like oil refineries, factories of all sorts.
What are interesting facts about plutonium?
It doesn't exist naturally in large quantities. It is pyrophoric (it burns in the presence of air spontaneously) It can undergo fission under fast neutrons and when found in critical mass to produce an nuclear detonation. It is chemically toxic to the body.
Does nuclear power produce smoke?
Nothing unusual. The only thing vented into the air from a nuclear power plant is steam. Water is used in the cooling process but is only applied to the outside of containers so it never becomes mixed with any dangerous chemicals. The clean water vapor is vented out into the air. Any physical or chemical waste produced by a nuclear plant is completely enclosed and disposed of without contact with the outside air so there is no smell produced.
Where did soot come from?
I think soot and smog come from the air pollution.
What are 3 types of energy that do not produce any air pollution?
Nuclear, hydro, wind
Can Smog form air pollution?
Smog Is smoke + fog, and that smoke is pollution.
