Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Serious nuclear power plant accidents include the Fukushima nuclear disaster (2011), the Chernobyl disaster (1986), the Three Mile Island accident (1979), and the SL-1 accident (1961).
Detailed explanation-3: -Does Nuclear Energy Cause Air Pollution? No. In fact, nuclear protects our air quality as a form of zero-emission clean energy. That’s because nuclear fission generates electricity without the harmful byproducts that coal, oil and natural gas emit.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the major problem in nuclear plants? Explanation: One of the major problems in the nuclear power plant is the disposal of waste products which are highly radioactive. They emit large quantities of rays and these high energy rays destroy all living matter through which pass.
