Answer

Radiation from nuclear material/ waste is extremely harmful for the living organisms. It causes mutations at high rate and also increases the risk of cancer.
Nuclear energy contributes a very small amount of emissions into the atmosphere which can cause many environmental problems such as global warming. Uranium is not burned in a nuclear power plant as coal is so there are no emissions from it.
