Nuclear energy and renewable energy have reduced environmental costs by decreasing CO 2 emissions resulting from energy consumption. [42] There is a catastrophic risk potential if containment fails, [43] which in nuclear reactors can be brought about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission products into the ...
