Yes. Nuclear power is environmentally friendly.
Even when you consider the ramifications of accidents, the overall environmental and safety impact, when you look at the big picture, is less than with fossil power.

How does a nuclear and fossil fuel station differ?
A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.
How is Nuclear energy environmentally friendly?
because with nuclear energy there in no need for fossil fuels, and the only by product is steam. The waste however from nuclear energy plantsdo produce waste uranium, which is hard as hell to get rid off unless u truck it to Nevada to hide in the desert. This technology is amazing and should be used more, because its relatively cheap, and its only by product is a lil water vapor.

How are they not environmentally friendly
The nuclear industry is placing ads in popular magazines and newspaper claiming that nuclear power is environmentally friendly since it doesn't contribute to the greenhouse effect how do you respond?
While it's true that nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases during operation, the nuclear industry fails to address issues such as radioactive waste disposal, mining and transportation of nuclear materials, and the risk of accidents. Also, considering the negative impacts on biodiversity and aquatic life from thermal pollution, the claim of nuclear power being completely environmentally friendly is misleading. It's important to consider the full lifecycle impacts of nuclear power before accepting these claims at face value.
