The bad thing about living near a nuclear power plant is that radiation will end up affecting you in the long run. No matter what you will be exposed to the radtiation somehow. Everyday you will worry about a melt down occurring and hopefully you wont have kids who will also be exposed to that as well.

∙ 9y agoThe disadvantage of having a nuclear power station is that there are very dire consequences if something goes wrong with it. Specifically, if a nuclear power station has a meltdown, people will die and develop cancer due to the radiation exposure. It would essentially be another Chernobyl incident if something went seriously wrong.

∙ 12y agoThe biggest danger in living next to a nuclear power plant is in being stampeded by anti-nuclear activists that want to spread unnecessary fear about the operation and safety of the plant.
Another Answer:
The truth of the matter is that the danger of living next to a nuclear power plant is no more dangerous than living next to a fossil power plant. In fact, one could argue that the fossil plant is more dangerous because of its carbon footprint and, especially if the plant is a coal plant, because its radiation release is greater than a nuclear plant under normal conditions.
