Nuclear material is pure and they are not the factor for causing radioactive pollution. The waste discarded improperly only causes radioactive pollution.The following causes the radioactive pollution in high rangeNuclear power plantsCoal fired power plantsUranium plantsThe above said power plants release radioactive wastes to the atmosphere. During their release or transportation of radioactive wastes, the radioactive pollution occurs.
