What are the environmental effects of nuclear fallout?
"The environmental radioactivity is increased." That's it?
Different ways of transforming energy have different environmental effects what waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
You don't list the waste problems, so how can I answer? However radioactive waste is not a problem for a coal burning plant

How nuclear fusion and nuclear fission differ in terms of environmental hazards?
Nuclear fission involves splitting an atom and creates radioactive waste. Nuclear fusion involves bringing an atom together and creates no radiative waste
What are the effects of improper diposal of wastes?
environmental degradation, waste disposal and loads of health problems.
What is the environmental factor that causes the mutation on the LMNA gene to cause Progeria?
nuclear waste dumped into water supply
Which is not an environmental consequence of nuclear energy?
Water pollution
How do nuclear fuels relate to environmental issues?
Nuclear fuels is not only bad for us, but for the enviornment. Some nuclear plants dump nuclear waste in rivers, oceans, lakes and ponds. This can kill and injure living organisms including us. It is not even good to bury it in the ground. Nuclear waste has to be specially desposed.
What are some environmental effects of nuclear power?
Very little if they operate as designed-some thermal pollution.
Why isn't nuclear waste sent to Sun?
Probably these two reasons: 1) The cost of sending rockets constantly to the sun loaded with nuclear waste would bankrupt the industry. 2) A "misfire" (rocket that crashes) would be an environmental disaster.
What environmental effects are starting to see from the dumping of e-waste?
global warming for one and the poisoning of our water suply
