Nuclear pollution refers to the harmful effects caused by radioactive substances and radiation on the environment, stemming from activities such as uranium mining, nuclear fission, and accidents. It weakens the immune system, contaminates water, contributes to global warming, and causes severe health issues, exemplified by historical incidents like Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukushima, and Chernobyl. Preventative measures include proper maintenance of nuclear facilities, safe disposal of radioactive materials, and minimizing nuclear experiments and fission reactions.

“We can’t see it. We can’t smell it. We can’t touch it. The effects may not
show up now, in this decade, this generation even in this
century. Nevertheless, these senseless nuclear impacts on us are far
beyond imagination…”

3. What is nuclear pollution???
Any undesirable effect caused to the
environment due to radioactive substances
or radiations is called nuclear pollution.

4. NUCLEAR FISSION
Nuclear fission is the process in which a large
nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the
release of energy. In other words, fission the
process in which a nucleus is divided into two
or more fragments, and neutrons and energy
are released.

5. CAUSES OF NUCLEAR POLLUTION
 Uranium mining
 Production of nuclear fuel
 Nuclear power reactors
 Transportation of Nuclear Matters
 Nuclear Accidents
 Nuclear tests carried out by the Defense Personnel; and
 Disposal of nuclear waste.

6. EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR POLLUTION
 Weakens the immune system of the body.
 When the radioactive material is shipped via water then it can
also cause toxicity in water and we use the same water for
various purposes.
 Nuclear pollution is another major cause of earth warming.
 Skin Diseases.
 Damages the reproductive organs.
 Destroys the Retina of Eyes.
 Shortening of life span.

9. Have you remember the tragedy of

10. In both the Fukushima and the 1986 Chernobyl accidents, volatile iodine
species were released into the environment with tellurium
Iodine has highest fission yield, it effects the Thyroid gland.
It has been four years since the nuclear power plant accident in
Fukushima, Japan.

11. CONTROL OF NULEAR POLLUTION
 Proper maintenance of nuclear plants.
 The disposal of radioactive material must be safe and secure.
 Ban usage of Nuclear weapons.
 Safe transportation.
 Proper storage.
 Preventive nuclear experiments.
 Fission reactions need to be minimized.
 Minimize use of nuclear elements.
