Coal plants emit more radioactive waste than nuclear plants (2007)
And as has been pointed out to me offline the article compares 'radioactivity release' of an operating nuclear plant to an operating coal plant. Clearly a properly designed nuclear plant emits no radioactivity at all.<p>On the plus side I offer the following report from the USGS in 2016 : <a href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1997/fs163-97/FS-163-97.html" rel="nofollow">https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1997/fs163-97/FS-163-97.html</a> which talks about the levels of uranium and thorium in fly ash (0 - 4 ppm).
