Answer 2

The energy discharged at the time of nuclear fusion or fission, mainly when used to produce electricity is known as nuclear energy. Although nuclear energy has become one of the most potent sources of energy in the present time, it also brings some harmful effects along with it, mainly by affecting the surrounding environment like the water bodies present nearby.  

Some of the potential problems for the nearby water sources when using nuclear energy are:  

1. It contaminates water with radioactive waste.  

2. It creates hazardous conditions for the species living in the water.  

3. It adds very hot water to cool water environments.  

4. It utilizes a resource, which becomes scarce at the time of drought.
