The greatest harm to fish from nuclear power, in terms of the numbers of fish killed so far, has been due to thermal pollution. The nuclear power produced at plants is only about 35% turned into electrical power. The remainder is called waste heat. When rivers, lakes, or the sea are heated up, it can kill fish. In some cases this has a profound effect on the species in the water.
Nuclear power plants have lost radioactive materials into large bodies of water, harming sea and land life. Possibly the worst such event involved loss of material from the Sellafield plant in the U. K. into the Irish Sea.
What else can I help you with?
What harm does nuclear power plant give the environment when it transforms into energy?
For one, Nuclear power can harm aquatic life, harm humans with enough radiation, destroy drinking water, and harm the air.
Is it safe to work at a nuclear power plant?
not really because a power plant is very dangerous and it can harm you.
Do nuclear power stations harm animals?
If the operators of the plant in question discharge water back into the nearest body of water at too high of a temperature, it will kill fish, plants, and micro-organisms.

What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
How does nuclear reactor harm the earth?
They don't.
Where is the best place to use nuclear?
Nuclear power is best used to generate electricity in countries seeking clean, baseload energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proper safety measures and strict regulatory oversight are essential to mitigate risks associated with nuclear power. It is important to locate nuclear power plants away from densely populated areas to minimize potential harm in case of accidents.
How do nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution?
Nuclear power plants contribute to thermal pollution by releasing heated water back into the environment after being used to cool their systems. This heated water can raise the temperature of the receiving water body, which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and harm aquatic life.
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Is nuclear reactors harm full?
Nuclear reactors can be harmful if not managed properly, such as in the case of accidents or leaks. However, when operated safely and within regulatory guidelines, nuclear reactors provide clean energy and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Strict safety measures and regulations are in place to minimize risks associated with nuclear power generation.
What thing will harm the river?
fish harm rivers and we do by dumping our rubbish in them
