It is highly radioactive (that is the waste contained in the spent fuel)
It is not bad to generate electricity using nuclear power. However, there are concerns some people have with nuclear power, in particular with the side effects of it. In the process of generating electricity nuclear fuel is used up and left as what is called nuclear waste. This waste is very radioactive and a danger to living things for upwards of 10000 years. This waste must be stored, and debates about where and how it should be stored can lead people to consider nuclear power to be a "bad" method of generating electricity.
Nuclear power is neither good nor bad. The way nuclear power is produced (Safety) can be good or bad, though. Nuclear power can be generated by small power plants, creates no air pollution, and is safe when done right.
nuclear waste is worst
nuclear waste
Yes, there is nuclear waste in space.
Yes, nuclear energy waste can be harmful to children if they are exposed to radioactive materials. Radioactive waste can cause serious health problems such as cancer, birth defects, and other health issues if proper precautions are not taken to prevent exposure.
nuclear waste is a by product of nuclear power plants, or in the creation of nuclear weapons.
nuclear waste contains about 90 % of nuclear fuel but it is much harmful then nuclear itself.
Nuclear fuels is not only bad for us, but for the enviornment. Some nuclear plants dump nuclear waste in rivers, oceans, lakes and ponds. This can kill and injure living organisms including us. It is not even good to bury it in the ground. Nuclear waste has to be specially desposed.
Yes, and your grave will be easy to locate with a giger counter 100,000 years from now. There are different grades of nuclear waste with some being not too bad and some being real nasty.
I'm pretty sure nuclear has a bad affect on humans. It really depends on what you mean by Nuclear. If you mean Nuclear Energy, no. It is vital. If you mean Nuclear Waste, yes. It is deadly. If you mean the Nucleus of an atom. It is part you you.
Because you can reuse 17% of nuclear waste and use it as if it was new.
