Coal power plants release a LOT of radioactive material into the atmosphere, much more than the couple of barrels of nicely storable waste a nuclear plant produces.
- ScotterC 16y agoVery true. There's a calculation somewhere that if you actually fissioned all the fissile material within coal ash, you'd produce more energy then the burning of coal did in the first place. Also, as you point out, nuclear waste is very easily stored and contained which is what has always been done.
