Power plants that burn trash, construction debris, even tires to fuel boilers to generate steam that turn turbines to generate electricity. It burns hot enough and the exhaust is scrubbed so there is very little if any pollution put into the air.

fear of the waste.


What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?

Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste, which remains hazardous for thousands of years, unlike the waste produced by coal-burning power plants. Coal plants generate larger quantities of more immediate pollutants like sulfur dioxide, mercury, and particulate matter, which can have significant health and environmental impacts.


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


Which is a waste problem of nuclear power that does not occur with coal-burning power plants?

One unique waste problem of nuclear power is the production of highly radioactive spent fuel rods. Unlike coal-burning power plants, nuclear power plants generate this waste that remains hazardous for thousands of years and requires specialized storage and disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and health risks.


Most air pollution is caused by?

Most air pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels, such as gasoline and coal, in vehicles and power plants. Industrial processes, agriculture, and waste disposal also contribute to air pollution.

What energy waste is pruduced by nuclear power plants?

Heat.


How much waste is produced by coal power plants per kWh?

There is around 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide waste produced by coal power plants. This is released by a natural gas.


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.


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 is meant by incineration for what purpose it is used?

Incineration is the process of burning waste materials at high temperatures to reduce their volume and mass, converting them into ash, flue gas, and heat. It is used to dispose of solid waste, hazardous materials, and organic waste while generating energy in the form of heat or electricity as a byproduct.


Why does a nuclear power plant not produce air pollutants?

Nuclear power plants produce energy through splitting atoms, not by burning fossil fuels. This process does not produce air pollutants like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides. However, there are environmental concerns with nuclear waste disposal and the potential for accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
