Will using nuclear fuel to generate electricity have a negative effect on the eco system?

Although Nuclear power plants are thought to be carbon neutral the problem with the disposal of nuclear waste is an ongoing and unsolved one. The Chernobyl accident in Ukraine Russia in 1986 is a text book case that' if something can go wrong it WILL go wrong. Childhood leukaemia in the Kiev region has increased dramatically since the reactor exploded and the whole area is closed to the public indefinitely. On balance the answer to your question is yes,all forms of power generation have an impact on the environment but nuclear fuel is inextricably and regrettably inked to a nation's nuclear deterent.

How do photocells generate electricity?
the photoelectrons released during photoelectric effect are used to generate electricity in photo cells
Did Nikola Tesla have a positive effect on the world?
If you know about electricity, he had both a positive and a negative effect on the world, lol.
What are 3 ways of producing electricity?
Methods of generating electricity include electromagnetic induction, static energy, nuclear transformation, electrochemistry, and photoelectric effect. The other two of the seven fundamental methods of generating electricity are piezoelectric effect and thermoelectric effect.
Can you give me physics investigatory project using electricity can i have the answer now or as soon as possible pleasei really need it...?
You can conduct a physics investigatory project on potatoes being used as a form of electricity. In addition, the effect of using potatoes as a source of electricity on the environment can be observed. Copper and zinc electrodes enable the juice of the potato to generate electricity.
What is one type energy source that does not use turbines?
solar power

Was the nuclear weapons a positive or a negative effect?
It is a negative effect. While it might be a neat invention to some, it is going to end up destructive and causing a lot of major issues.

What are the positive effects of electricity on the environment?
The positive effects of electricity on the environment are quite limited as mostly electricity has negative impact on the environment. Plants can be said to benefit slightly from the carbon dioxide released in the generation of electricity.
How do magnets help create electricity?
If a conductor - such as a wire - moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is produced in the conductor. This may cause a current (if the wire is connected to an external circuit). This effect is used in generators to generate electricity.
Is pollute is a negative or positive?
negative effect negative effect
Why do thunder effect electricity?
Thunder does not effect electricity, it is the lightening that accompanies it.

Is gas still in use today?
Yes it is used in everyday life. The most common use would be for electricity, as gas is used to heat water in power stations which in effect creates electricity. ++++ I will expand that to clarify it. Heating the water in power-stations does not "in effect create electricity". Rather, it is boiled to produce steam at very high temperature and pressure, and this is used to drive turbines that in turn rotate the alternators that actually generate the electricity.

What nuclear fuel is used for?
As you should expect from it being referred to as "fuel" it is used as a source of energy. In nuclear reactors, the decaying U235 emits particles that, when controlled, can further split other atoms and in the process release more energy. The energy is absorbed as heat by a surrounding fluid and used to power steam turbines that generate electricity. In some cases the heat given off by decaying radioactive isotopes is used directly to power devices through the thermoelectric effect where a difference in temperature can generate a voltage in a circuit. This effect is often used to power space probes.
