Abstract
Nuclear power plants and reprocessing plants add, on the average, only 1% to natural radiation levels. Levels of atmospheric pollution caused by coal-fired power plants are compared with those made by nuclear plants. Three means of comparison are performed: calculations of relative pollutant levels, which results in a ratio of 1:100 in favor of nuclear power; calculations of the volume of pure air necessary to dilute the pollutant to applicable limit levels, which produce a ratio of 1:1000 in favor of nuclear; and ratio of pollutant levels to natural background levels, which shows that coal plants roughly double the natural carbon dioxide level while nuclear plants contribute only a few percent to the natural background radiation level.
