Nuclear energy not clean or safe

Some radioactive fission gases from the reactor cooling water are retained in tanks for days before being released into the atmosphere through filtered rooftop vents. These airborne gases contaminate not only the air, but also end up in our soil and water. Every exposure to radiation increases the risk of damage to tissue cells. Minimal exposure each day can devastate our health. Nuclear reactors produce nuclear waste, which is the most hazardous and toxic material known to man and the hardest to get rid of.
