Nuclear power compares favorably with other options by measures
of GHG gas emission and air pollution. While nuclear is not completely
without GHG emission, it ranks with hydro and wind power as a low...
emitter (Figure 2.3.11). Nuclear power plants, like renewables, emit during
operation virtually no air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, or particulates.
