Detailed explanation-1: -Spent nuclear fuel is dangerously radioactive and has the potential to release a poisonous chemical element called plutonium into the environment. In fact, exposure to radioactive waste can cause cancerous growths in humans and genetic damage or mutation to animals and plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Radioactive contamination occurs when radioactive material is deposited on or in an object or a person. Radioactive materials released into the environment can cause air, water, surfaces, soil, plants, buildings, people, or animals to become contaminated.
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.
