Nuclear power itself doesn't cause cancer. It is the waste products or the release of the radiation from its containment vessels that causes potential health problems. Radiation comes from unstable molecules that release neutrons that can damage the cells in our bodies. The damaged cells then can have a hard time reproducing normally, and can reproduce uncontrollably and take the place of normal healthy tissue.

How nuclear power is bad?
Nuclear power is actually a good, clean renewable energy source. The only negative is that if the reactor malfunctions or it breaks down, it will cause a hazardous pollutant that can cause cancer.
Why is is important to dispose of wastes from nuclear power plants carefully?
The wastes are radioactive and could cause cancer.
Should the UK develop nuclear power in the future?
We should not have nuclear power in the future because so many things can happen; for example people can get skin cancer and can cause high level radioactive waste/and it is very expensive and also nuclear power can cause small accidents. the nuclear power looks like a dick with wee coming out (that is a very true fact) i am very picc or i dont want skin cancer
What are the negative stuff about nuclear power?

Is nuclear power the answer to your energy needs?
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
How can nuclear harm us?
By radioactivity which causes damage to the body and can cause cancer if enough is absorbed. Nuclear power plants do not normally emit more than trivial amounts of radioactivity, but rare faults can allow more to escape into the surrounding areas.
Can solar power cause cancer?
Sun burn will increase the risk of getting skin cancer. But there's no direct link between solar power and cancer. There MIGHT be indirect links, like IF installing solar power panels would expose you to substances known to cause cancer. But the reason for the cancer then would be the dangerous substance, not the solar power.
