Positive environmental effects of nuclear energy revolve around air pollution. With nuclear energy, there is less waste that gets distributed into the atmosphere. The air is actually cleaner due to the fact that no air pollutants are released.

Environmental effects while obtaining energy sources?

Some of the environmental effects that can occur when obtaining energy sources include spills that leak into other natural resources. If an oil platform explodes, it may leak crude oil into ocean or seawater and kill aquatic animals.


What are the positive effects on society of oil used as an energy source?

The use of oil as an energy sources allows you to fly almost anywhere in the world quite easily.


What are environmental consequences of nuclear energy?

The primary environmental consequence of nuclear energy is unwanted radioactive contamination. This can be in aerial release of steam, or water pollution in the cooling cycle and in affected groundwater. The spent nuclear materials from reactors (nuclear waste) must be stored away for thousands of years before they pose no threat to biological organisms. They have the capacity to pollute large areas unless properly handled. A secondary and limited consequence may be thermal pollution from the waste heat released into the environment. However, this is only a factor at a minority of reactor sites.


What is the examples of energy produce nuclear reactor?

If you mean energy produced by nuclear reactors, then "heat" and "light" would be the answers (Just think of the sun)
