What harm does nuclear power plant give the environment when it transforms into energy?
For one, Nuclear power can harm aquatic life, harm humans with enough radiation, destroy drinking water, and harm the air.
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?

Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.

What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
What has nuclear energy done for the environment?
Nuclear power does not produce emissions like CO2 and sulphur dioxide that are produced when fossil fuels are burned.
Is nuclear power the answer to your energy needs?
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
