Explanation:

Although nuclear power is considered an alternative of the conventional power generated from the coal based plants. Nuclear power plant has lesser emission which helps in making the environment cleaner. It also helps in reducing our dependency on fossil fuels.

At the same time it has some safety concerns.

1. Hazardous Solid Waste: There is nuclear waste generated from these plants which needs to be disposed off very carefully otherwise it will be a huge disaster if the radiation leaks.

2. Potential Reactor Accidents: Nuclear Plant works in certain conditions and these conditions need to be maintained otherwise it may lead to accidents such as Chernobyl.

3. Harm to animal and plant life:  the risk of cancer increases in humans due to exposure to the radiation. Also the radiation from the reactor affects the plants and animals.
