Nuclear power stations are designed not to pollute, and don't normally do so. In this they are different to stations that burn coal or gas, where CO2 and other combustion gases are emitted continuously.
The operating records of nuclear stations rarely show any release of radioactivity. The worst example ever was Chernobyl in the Ukraine, and the worst in the US was Unit 2 at Three Mile Island. These were exceptional events where fuel melting caused release of activity to the atmosphere. The first of these incidents was a complete exposure of the damaged core. This type of reactor has never been built in the US. The PWR accident at Three Mile Island was certainly serious, but the reactor containment prevented a really serious public safety emergency. Better operator training and better instrumentation were the main lessons learned.

Causes of hazards?
The causes of hazards might include the weather, man made accidents like spills or even nuclear meltdowns. Other causes of hazards could include heavy traffic moving at high speeds.
How many boron made control rod used during nuclear reaction?
Boron rods are introduced into the reaction to slow it down when required.
What allow molecules in and out of the nuclear?
Nuclear pores allow molecules in and out
To what extent do environmental hazards stem from unpredictable nature and to what extent do they originate from human actions?
For most of human history, nature has been the most important source of environmental hazards, but in recent years human action has been overtaking nature as the greatest source of environmental hazard. With the recent disaster in Japan, we have some of each. Nature caused the earthquake, but human beings built the nuclear power plants which when damaged by the tsunami caused by the earthquake, are now a huge environmental hazard.
Why should the government control your natural resources?
It honestly is up for opinions. I do not think that it should, being a dreamer that I am; that perhaps all humankind can get along someday without blowing the planet into a Nuclear Winter...
