Nuclear energy doesn't really clean the air. What it doesdo is allow us to generate some of the electric power we need without producing any greenhouse gasses the way coal, oil or gas fired power plants do.
Nuclear energy is not considered completely clean because of the risks associated with nuclear accidents, such as Chernobyl and Fukushima. Additionally, the mining and refining of uranium to fuel nuclear reactors can have environmental impacts, and the management of radioactive waste is a long-term challenge.
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
Atomic energy is the energy released from splitting (nuclear fission) or combining (nuclear fusion) atoms. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity and in nuclear weapons for explosive purposes. The use of atomic energy has both benefits, such as providing a relatively clean energy source, and concerns, such as nuclear accidents and nuclear proliferation.
Nuclear energy falls into the category of alternative energy sources, as it provides a clean and efficient way to generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions.
Both nuclear energy and wind energy are sources of clean, renewable energy that do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, they both provide a reliable source of electricity when harnessed effectively.
Nuclear energy is a very clean source of electricity. There are no pollutants put into the air, and it is very efficient.
While there are no electricity sources that are one hundred percent clean for the environment, nuclear energy is close to the top of best energy sources. While nuclear energy will give a radioactive material, there are no dangerous air emissions, because nuclear energy gives off steam.

yes because we need our energy and we need to keep our air clean
Nuclear energy is the world's largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants produce no controlled air pollutants, such as sulfur and particulates, or greenhouse gases. The use of nuclear energy in place of other energy sources helps to keep the air clean, preserve the Earth's climate, avoid ground-level ozone formation and prevent acid rain. Of all energy sources, nuclear energy has perhaps the lowest impact on the environment, including water, land, habitat, species, and air resources. Nuclear energy is the most eco-efficient of all energy sources because it produces the most electricity relative to its environmental impact.
Nuclear energy is very clean, provided you look after the spent fuel carefully, and follow good health physics practice during operation.
Nuclear energy is a clean energy and doesn't pollute the atmosphere
No, not at all
Positive environmental effects of nuclear energy revolve around air pollution. With nuclear energy, there is less waste that gets distributed into the atmosphere. The air is actually cleaner due to the fact that no air pollutants are released.

Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
