Question

What are the harmful influence of nuclear power and what can be done?

Answer 1

$\huge \mathfrak{hello}$
$\tiny{nice \: question}$
$\underline \red{your \: answer}$
Nuclear power has at least three waste streams that may impact the environment: spent nuclear fuel at the reactor site ( including fission products and plutonium waste ) Tailling and waste rock at uranium mining Mills. Releases of ill - defined quantities of radioactive materials during accidents.

The greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear fission power are much smaller than those associated with coal. However, there is a " contastrophic risk "
protential if containment fails, which in nuclear reactors can be brought about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission products into environment. This potential risk could wipe out the benefits. The most long - lived radioactive wastes, induding spent nuclear fuel must be contained and isolated from the environment for a long period of time.
On the other side, spent nuclear fuel could be reused, yielding even more energy and reducing the amount of waste to be contained. The public has been made sensitive to these risks and there has been considerable public opposition to nuclear power.

Answer 2

hey!

here is. answer

the harmful effects are

most substances involved in the generation of nuclear energy are radioactive. these substances emit harmful radiation. these are called nuclear radiation. nuclear radiation have harmful effects on human bodies and vegetation.

the most common nuclear radiation are

alpha particle

beta particle

gama ray

X- rays

high energy neutrons



the harmful effects of nuclear power on human bodies is of two types

1. somatic effects

2. genetic effects

there are many sources of pollution due to. nuclear radiation

due to leakage or accident

during minning of. radioactive minerals

at nuclear fuel processing complexes

at laboratory etc



it causes a lot of pollution

it is also used in explosive bombs

hope it helps

thanks .
