Nuclear waste itself does not directly cause mutations, but the radiation emitted from it can damage DNA in living organisms. This genetic damage can lead to mutations, which may result in cancer or other health issues over time. However, the extent of such effects depends on the level of exposure and various biological factors. Overall, while radiation can contribute to mutations, it doesn't guarantee that all organisms exposed will experience such changes.
