Nuclear Waste - Remnants of split Uranium or other fuel is highly unstable - Radioactive - Harmful to life.

Dangerous - If Nuclear Power stations are not properly built or managed, it could inflict radiation poisoning and the nuclear, being very unstable, could explode. This would emit radioactive fallout into the atmosphere e.g. Chernobyl, Ukraine 1986, the worst nuclear power accident in history.

The nuclear power vessel ruptured during a sudden power surge and multiple explosions followed. A plume of radioactive fallout spread first over the nearby town of Pripyat, killing or severely poisoning all of the citizens. The cloud then spread over areas of Ukraine, contaminating rivers, farmland and the natural environment. Even a slight malfunction can be catastrophic.
