nuclear waste pollutes the environment.and if we use radioactive elements like uranium to generate nuclear energy then some waste will also get generated as the by product of the reaction and these waste are highly radioactive,dangerous to us and the environment and the last but not the least the radioactive waste will remain on earth for thousands of year

- Risky, accidents cause damage and pollution that could kill thousands in the short term and hundreds of thousands in the long term. : see Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.
- Waste, poisonous for literally thousands of years
- Mining is both dangerous and polluting

Which of the fallowing is not a potential benefit of using more nuclear energy?
One potential negative aspect of using more nuclear energy is the risk of accidents and the potential for radioactive contamination.
What is a non example of a potential problem with using nuclear energy?
A non-example of a potential problem with using nuclear energy could be the positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Nuclear energy does not emit carbon dioxide during power generation, making it a cleaner energy source in terms of climate change mitigation.
Ask us anythingWhich of the following is not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy?
Nuclear accidents resulting in radiation leaks can be a potential problem of using more nuclear energy.
Is NOT a potential problem of using more nuclear energy?
An advantage of using more nuclear energy is that it produces lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
What are examples of nuclear energy to thermal energy?
Nuclear energy is used to heat water and produce steam in a nuclear power plant. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, converting nuclear energy to thermal energy, which is then transformed into electricity. Another example is using nuclear energy to heat homes or buildings through a nuclear reactor heating system.
