  A good place to find this sort of info is "Sustainable Energy Without The Hot Air", http://www.withouthotair.com/ http://www.withouthotair.com/ Page 168 mentions the fact that coal ash contains uranium, and that people living near coal power stations are exposed to more radiation than those living near nuclear power stations.
