Answer:

- risk of danger at reactor sites

- adds waste heat to air and water

- it creates solid radioactive waste that has to be stored safely over the long term

Step-by-step explanation:

"Nuclear energy is better in that it does not use nearly as many natural resources. Nor does it produce as much air pollution. Nuclear energy produces a different type of environmental pollution, however. The expended fuels produce solid nuclear wastes which are hazardous and require long-term, safe disposal. It has other negative aspects as well. It adds waste heat to the air and water. It also adds low levels of radiation to the environment. This aspect of nuclear energy and the danger of a reactor accident create the greatest concerns among people."

I got this right on my homework:)
