Nuclear waste in the form of spent fuel rods.
Nuclear waste arises out of the use of nuclear power, so it will continue to be produced as long as nuclear power is used.
The waste is radioactive and therefore ionising. It can cause cancer and "radioactive poisoning"
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.
Waste products we don't know how to (are are not interested in) recycle, and lots of steam.

They are not good because of the pollution rate and the fact that the waste production is very hard to dispose of

Because unlike other sources of energy, Nuclear power is toxic. Runoff and meltdowns can have extremely bad effects on the environment.
