Every energy source has waste, perr kilowatt nuclear has the cleanest (least waste) energy. Burning coal releases alot more radioactive pollution than nuclear, because coal naturally contains radioactive particles, that are released when burned.

Nuclear releases no carbon dioxide, or other greenhouse gas, the waste is solid and therefore much easier to contain and manage.
