Nuclear power has a low carbon footprint during operation, emitting virtually no greenhouse gases. However, uranium mining can lead to habitat destruction and water contamination. The long-term storage of radioactive waste is also a significant environmental concern, as it requires secure, monitored facilities to prevent leaks into the environment. Ongoing research aims to find sustainable waste management solutions.
