She says that the exposure causes the increased risk of cancer, and other diseases. The results of switching to Nuclear Power would be catastrophic because in order for nuclear power to operate, it needs to release more radioactive materials into the air, water, and soil. She says that accidental releases of radioactivity from leaks in fuel rods are the norm for nuclear power plants.
The Nuclear Power industry claims to be emission free, but has a routinely process of venting 100 cubic feet of radioactive gases into the atmosphere every hour. The process of venting is made by taking gases and storing them temporarily until isotopes decay, and then allowed to escape into our atmosphere through holes in the roof made by
