Which produces more radioactivity in the atmosphere coal fire power plants or nuclear power plants?

Coal-fired power plants produce more radioactive material in the atmosphere than nuclear power plants. This is because coal contains naturally occurring radioactive elements like uranium and thorium that are released during combustion. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste, but the containment and storage of this waste is carefully managed to minimize its impact on the environment.


Is it possible to undo atomic or nuclear weapons once made?

Yes, nuclear weapons can be scrapped. The radioactive materials can be used in nuclear power plants.


Radioactive metal used in nuclear power plants?

Uranium is the radioactive metal commonly used in nuclear power plants for fuel production. It undergoes fission reaction to generate heat, which is used to produce steam and generate electricity in nuclear reactors.


What is a type of pollution produced by nuclear power plants?

Radioactive waste is a type of pollution produced by nuclear power plants. This waste contains harmful radioactive materials that can remain hazardous for thousands of years, requiring specialized storage and disposal methods.
