Answer: Uranium

It is harmful in other ways, it can cause mutation in the genes which may cause genetic defect. The nuclear power plants does not releases direct carbon dioxide in the environment as like that of fossil fuels.

But uranium does not emits carbon dioxide from it as compared to other fossil fuels.

So, the correct answer is Uranium.
