Power plants do not produce "dangerous radioactive waves" or "dangerous electromagnetic waves" or "dangerous subsonic sounds" or anything of that nature. Coal fired plants may produces some sulfur dioxide but that's about it.Nuclear power plants produce some radioactive waste but the major danger arises from the operation in the US of such plants which is aimed at producing plutonium for bombs.
What else can I help you with?
From where radioactive wastes are produced?
By nuclear power plants
Why is is important to dispose of wastes from nuclear power plants carefully?
The wastes are radioactive and could cause cancer.
You nuclear wastes must be stored for centuries to prevent dangerous radioactivity from escaping?
Yes
What are the dangers of nuclear wastes?
it is very dangerous you could die if you are at least 200 ft
What watses that are environmentally dangerous?
All except perhaps Biodegradable wastes. E-Wastes, Nuclear wastes, Non-Biodegradable, Biomedical etc all harm the environment
Sources of nuclear wastes?
Nuclear waste primarily originates from the operation of nuclear power plants, where spent fuel rods contain highly radioactive materials after their use in generating electricity. Additionally, nuclear waste is produced during the manufacturing of nuclear weapons, medical applications (such as radiotherapy), and research activities in laboratories utilizing radioactive isotopes. Other sources include decommissioned nuclear facilities and the disposal of nuclear materials from various industrial processes. Proper management and disposal of these wastes are critical to minimize environmental and health risks.
What are the toxic wastes in plants?

What are Merits demerits of nuclear fission?
Advantages: it is an alternative source of electricity and heat; it is at the base of fission bombs.Disadvantages: radioactive wastes are produced.
What are some drawbacks with using uranium to produce electricity?
- possible problem with pollution - possible problems with some accidents in nucear fuel plants or in nuclear reactors - nuclear wastes
What is the most dangerous type of waste?
Though e-wastes and bio medical wastes are the dangerous wastes, the most dangerous type of waste, to the best of my knowledge, is radioactive wastes due its long standing ill effects. -answer by rajasekaransk

Is nuclear energy good for the enviornment?
It is a ... mixed blessing. It won't produce carbon dioxide, and thus it should reduce global heating. However, there is currently no safe way to get rid of the nuclear wastes, which are also quite dangerous. I believe ecologists normally oppose nuclear energy, for this reason.It is a ... mixed blessing. It won't produce carbon dioxide, and thus it should reduce global heating.
