What is similar between a nuclear power station and a fossil fuel power station?

They both employ steam turbine/generators operating on the Rankine cycle.They both produce similar amounts of radioactive waste:Nuclear power plants "burn" uranium or plutonium through nuclear fission. The amount of nuclear waste produced is about 3 metric tons per terawatt-hour.Coal contains small amounts of uranium and thorium, but you have to burn so much coal to produce the same amount of energy, that the total amount of nuclear waste produced by burning coal is about 2 metric tons per terawatt-hour.Some of this nuclear waste escapes or is dumped into the environment, so both power plants also irradiate you. Coal power plants actually irradiate you 100 times as much as nuclear power plants, since their waste is not as tightly regulated by the government:People are exposed to 5 person-rem/year from nuclear power plants.People are exposed to 500 person-rem/year from coal power plants.
