Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?
No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
Which is more of a threat transporting nuclear fuel waste or transporting toxic chemicals?
spent nuclear fuel
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What are the problems with nuclear fuels?
The possibility of thermal runaway and the disposal of the radioactive waste are the two major problems with nuclear.
What waste is produced from nuclear power stations?
nuclear waste
What are the causes of nuclear and toxic waste?
nuclear waste is a by product of nuclear power plants, or in the creation of nuclear weapons.
What is a negative aspect associated with nuclear power?
Nuclear waste.
Is nuclear waste stored at a nuclear power plant?
Yes.
What is the waste of nuclear power?
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
Is waste of nuclear power stored in the power plant?
jre
What do nuclear power stations produce very little of that are dangerous?
Nuclear waste.
What waste products come from power stations?
Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear fission, though industries not directly connected to the nuclear power industry may also produce radioactive waste.
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
Which is a major drawback to the use of nuclear power?
Nuclear power creates toxic waste that must be stored forever
Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power is neither good nor bad. The way nuclear power is produced (Safety) can be good or bad, though. Nuclear power can be generated by small power plants, creates no air pollution, and is safe when done right.
How is holding nuclear waste good for the coomunity?
The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
