Question

What are the effect of nuclear waste on environment?

Answer 1

Nuclear has long been considered a great way to generate the power that lights and heats our homes. It can generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. However, after a few terrible disasters in Nuclear power plants around the world, people have become more and more aware that, when not treated carefully, nuclear power poses rather a significant threat to our way of life. There also have been safety and health concerns involved in storing nuclear (radioactive) waste. Luckily, though, in recent years the safety precautions of working nuclear power plants have become more and more strict and they are now incredibly safe. However, they still generate tons of very hazardous waste material each and every year, material that is difficult to shift.
