What is one negative impact that using nuclear energy is?
nuclear waste pollutes the environment.and if we use radioactive
elements like uranium to generate nuclear energy then some waste
will also get generated as the by product of the reaction and these
waste are highly radioactive,dangerous to us and the environment
and the last but not the least the radioactive waste will remain on
earth for thousands of year

Why is nucleas energy good?
Nuclear energy does not burn fossil fuel or create CO2.
A lot of energy is given out from a very small source.
The down side of 'Fission' reactors, is the radioactive waste,
which is dangerous to life and hard to dispose of.

What creates radioactive waste?
Radioactive waste is created by geological pressure that
undergone changes. In this process radioactive waves enter
experiments which when they fail they throw away this harazard and
nuclear waste that is toxic and causes radioactive waste which is
harmful to us and the environment.

What is nuclear energy and what are the positive and negative impacts on the world?
Nuclear energy is nearly the same as coal energy, in that they
both use heat to boil water and use the vapour from this to spin
turbines creating electricity. The difference is that they us
different heat sources. In nuclear energy, the heat source is
radioactive elements. Radioactive materials have chemical reactions
which in the process create a lot of energy, mostly
heat.
The ways it negatively affects us are simple. First of all when
they are done with radioactive elements, they have...
