It’s kinda funny(in an really sad way) that the EPA allows coal plants to release more radioactive waste into the atmosphere than nuclear plants. It turns out that there is uranium in that coal they burn.
It is all a scare game that turned out to be quite productive ever since WWII. Hang on and keep going. You seem to be smart in this arena. Understand why the battlefield exists in the first place.
It’s radon that gets released.
Most of the radio active waste would report in the ash not in the atmosphere. Any radon in the coal would report in the gaseous emissions.
Soil contains uranium, albeit in quantities that aren’t harmful to us.
