Why is a power plant bad for the environment?

Nuclear power plants are bad for the environment because of the unpreventable release of radioactive materials. What many people forget is that radiation is energy, not a material. A material that emits radiation is called radioactive material. Back to the point, radiation causes long-term effects and can pollute almost everything. Water is used to cool reactors and when it leaks into the environment, radiation poisoning is usually the effect. Radiation that comes from the power plant itself can poison surrounding plants, animals, and people. Effects from high radiation exposure (the sun emits radiation) are radiation poisoning, cancer, brain damage, birth defects, infertility, etc.


Why are nuclear power stations bad?

Strictly speaking, nuclear power stations aren't really that bad, since every method of getting energy has pros and cons. The disadvantages of nuclear power stations are that they create some waste products. These things are radioactive and waste with high radiation output (over 90% of waste does not emit more radiation than a cup of coffee) will cause long term damage to anyone staying near it for awhile. Around 90% of the available energy in the fuel rods when they are removed from the reactor after three fuel cycles (the typical period). If the highly radioactive fission fragments were extracted and the fissionable material reprocessed into new fuel (as they have been doing in France for decades), the remaining volume of radioactive material would be significantly reduced. Another disadvantage is that nuclear power stations may melt down, irradiating the land around them. There is actually a low chance of a meltdown, but when it does happen, an entire region can be contaminated and poisoned.


Is science and technology a curse or a blessing?

They are both a blessing and a curse. Neither science nor technology in and of themselves are good or bad. It is what we as humans choose to do with science and technology that is good or bad. In some cases even something we do that is bad can lead to good. For example nuclear weapons are clearly bad. However that same radiation that can be used to kill masses. Can also be used to remove cancer. A computer can be used to learn a great many things about the world. Or it can be used to hurt children, take down power grids, and other nefarious acts.


How do people hurt the environment?

because the oil of the trucks and nuclear power plant can be bad for the ozone lair and is making it thin-er and eventually it will be so small that the ozone lair will be not there and the sun will fry us all

What are the negative stuff about nuclear power?

1. The nuclear power is messy 2. The biggest negative about nuclear power is the safety factor. If something goes wrong, it can be really bad! 3. Another problem is the amount of heat created by a nuclear power plant. 4. Nuclear power can cause death or extremely bad injuries as part of nuclear power is explosive .


What Are The Negative Things about Nuclear Power?

The biggest negative about nuclear power is the safety factor. If something goes wrong, it can be really bad! Another problem is the amount of heat created by a nuclear power plant. Try googling Chernobyl and 12 (or just) 'mile island' they are great examples of what can go wrong.


Why is nuclear fission bad?

It is not bad to generate electricity using nuclear power. However, there are concerns some people have with nuclear power, in particular with the side effects of it. In the process of generating electricity nuclear fuel is used up and left as what is called nuclear waste. This waste is very radioactive and a danger to living things for upwards of 10000 years. This waste must be stored, and debates about where and how it should be stored can lead people to consider nuclear power to be a "bad" method of generating electricity.


Is nuclear power the answer to your energy needs?

Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.

Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power plant?

Nuclear power is neither good nor bad. The way nuclear power is produced (Safety) can be good or bad, though. Nuclear power can be generated by small power plants, creates no air pollution, and is safe when done right.
