Describe environmental impacts that arise from using nuclear fuel.

For nuclear fuel, the key contrast is low carbon during electricity generation but difficult long-term waste management. In the Environmental issues and energy decisions subtopic, nuclear stations do not burn fuel in the same way as fossil-fuel stations, so operational greenhouse gas emissions are low. However, mining, decommissioning, accident risk, and radioactive waste storage create environmental concerns. The answer should not copy fossil-fuel arguments; it should focus on radiation, containment, and long timescales. Approved keywords to include in this revision point: environmental impact.
