Best Answer

The nuclear Reactor is safe unless a Radioactive Leak happens.

The chances of a Radioactive Leak Happening is quite low. The main concern is that when nuclear power plants use the lakes or rivers to gain coolants is that it can kill the fishes due to thermal pollution (waste heat) in the particular area. The other Concern is the Waste. The nuclear waste emits around 148 Roentgens Per hour and has to be buried at locations that will be Uninhabitable for thousands of years to come.

What is a Nuclear reactor moisture separator?

This is used in the nuclear reactor that is known as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) in which heat produced by the nuclear fission in the nuclear fuel allows the light water reactor coolant to boil. Then, the nuclear reactor moisture separator is used to increase the dryness of the produced steam before it goes to the reactor steam turbines.
