How does uranium cause pollution?

Not unless it is burned along with something, you can't; uranium does not do anything much, and the only reason that we use it, is because of its quality of radioactivity. == my answer== Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive mineral that is mined to be processed into fuel for nuclear reactors and similar things. The mining of Uranium pollutes. The material itself can be released during mining and processing and pollutes air and water resources, generally not in densities or concentrations to harm the environment. The uranium itself doesn't do anything. what we do to it to get and produce power does. What a world we live in!
