What kind of toxic waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy produces wastes in the form of spent nuclear fuels, which are a mixture of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals - both of which are toxic - and irradiated materials surrounding the reactor which become radioactive from exposure to the radiation produced by the reactor and which must be disposed of at the end of the life of the reactor. Note that breeder reactors - which are not permitted in the USA - convert some of the otherwise unusable radioactive isotopes into fissionable isotopes, thus allowing more of the fuel to be used and reducing amount of fuel rod waste (with the rods being re-processed to recover more usable fuel rather than just disposed of).

What is toxic wastes?
Non toxic wastes are wastes that do not pose a serious threat to the environment or animals if decomposed carefully. Some of the solid wastes are generated due to domestic activities such as food leftovers ,fruit and vegetable peelings, bits of paper and other rubbish often stored in dustbins .The waste produced by shops, offices, restaurants and schools do not pose a serious threat to the animals, plants or to the environment. Such wastes are called nontoxic wastes.

What are some major contributions or positive impacts that the discovery of atoms has made?
One of the most major positive effects of the discovery of the atom is that by splitting atoms of radium in a nuclear power plant, we can gain a lot of energy. However, the waste produced in this process is very toxic and can damage us badly.......... Also, the nuclear bombs produced using these theories are very deadly.
