Unstable Isotopes, Source of Thermal Energy, Poses Health Problems.
Ans: unstable isotopes
source of thermal energy
poses health problems
A nuclear power plant generates nuclear energy which is a non-renewable resource. Essentially a heavy unstable radioisotope splits in a nuclear reactor and generates large amounts of heat. Hence a nuclear power plant is a source of thermal energy.
The fissionable material in a reactors core is usually a radioisotope like Uranium(U-235). The splitting of the uranium nucleus also generates other radioactive fission products, which might leak into the surroundings in case of any accidents. Hence, nuclear reactors pose health problems.
