Concern 1. Nuclear meltdown. If correct maintenance is not observed, the core may overheat and eventually melt. This will cause the escape of radiation.
Concern 2. Disposal of contaminated equipment and fuel rods. These are very hazardous and environmentally unsound.
Concern 3. The waste products from a nuclear power plant can be used to create weapons of mass destruction, and therefore must be disposed of properly.
