It depents, but it's probabilly steam. (well.. actually mist)

Why was the nuclear power plant in bataan suspended?
because the smoke they are making is making the air polluted and its bad for your your health
Why are nuclear plant smoke stacks not straight?
Usually the stack in a nuclear power plant is of smaller diameter as we go up from base to stack top. This is to increase the drift velocity of the exhaust to get out from the stack. It is a matter of fluid mechanics design.
Are the big towers in a nuclear power plant smoke stacks?
No, they are actually giving off steam. The steam is a byproduct of the hot water from the turbines air cooling.
Are Nuclear Power Plants Emissions Free?
The "smoke like gas" emitted from nuclear power stations is water vapor. And though water vapor is technically a "greenhouse gas", the amount emitted by nuclear power stations is a drop in the bucket compared to all the other sources of water vapor. However these gases are released at high temperatures, so they are injected high into the atmosphere.Nuclear power produces far less emissions than a coal-burning power plant, but it is not entirely "emissions-free", as some people claim.To dig up the uranium and extract the ore produces between 10 and 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of uranium oxide.A normal nuclear power plant producing 1000MW needs 200 tonnes of uranium oxide per year, which means between 2000 and 10 000 tonnes of Carbon dioxide per year, just mining the fuel. Not to mention the carbon from the shipping of the fuel.See the link below.
A story that link there is no smoke without fire?
There is a saying that where there is smoke, there is fire. This means that if there is evidence of something happening, then it is likely that there is a fire, or cause, for it. This saying can be applied to many situations in life. For example, if there is smoke coming from a building, it is likely that there is a fire inside. If there is smoke coming from a car, it is likely that the engine is on fire. In both of these cases, the smoke is evidence of a fire, or cause.
Where are some places you can find radioactive smoke?
by a nuclear power plant

Will you get sick if you live near a power plant?
Yes you could it is possible you could get heart disease or lung cancer if the power plant has anything to do with radiation or smoke coming out from a tower.

Do nuclear power plants produce whit or black smoke?
black smoke.
Are the big towers in a nuclear power plant smoke stacks?
No, they are actually giving off steam. The steam is a byproduct of the hot water from the turbines air cooling.
Does nuclear power produce smoke?
Nothing unusual. The only thing vented into the air from a nuclear power plant is steam. Water is used in the cooling process but is only applied to the outside of containers so it never becomes mixed with any dangerous chemicals. The clean water vapor is vented out into the air. Any physical or chemical waste produced by a nuclear plant is completely enclosed and disposed of without contact with the outside air so there is no smell produced.
Is nuclear waste radioactive?
is coal ash, clinker, and smoke hot when it leaves to coal plant/
What do nuclear power stations emit?
Nuclear power stations operate by the fission of unstable heavy isotopes. The energy from this reaction converts water into steam which in turn drives a turbine to produce electricity. Nothing in this nuclear reaction results in the release of greenhouse gasses.
What is the reason of white smoke from chimney of power plant?
it is steam from water being used as a coolant for the plant.
What is a form of pollution associated with nuclear power reactors?
There is smoke pollution from the reactor itself, in addition to the large trouble of disposing of the highly toxic nuclear waste.
Can a bad catalytic converter cause my 92 lexus to smoke?
No, any smoke is coming from the engine.No, any smoke is coming from the engine.
