No it doesn't, Because the energy achieved is made from splitting atoms apart it gives off energy with any sort of pollution. Although the only thing that does pollute is the very toxic and radioactive waste of elements such as uranium needs to be disposed of after its use is completed.

What are 3 types of energy that do not produce any air pollution?
Nuclear, hydro, wind
What are the enviromental impacts with nuclear energy?
Far less than fossil fuels. The amount of nuclear fuel required to make a certain amount of energy is tiny compared to fossil fuels, and therefore produces far less pollution. Most of the pollution is from mining the nuclear fuel, the only pollution from burning the fuel is "heat pollution", where the cooling towers dump waste heat into a lake or ocean and the temperature changes the ecosystem.
What give stars its energy?
Nuclear fusion.
Which kind of nuclear reactions is the source of the sun's energy?
Nuclear fussion of Hydrogen to give helium, positron and energy
