Bronson Gray · Answer 1

Depletion of natural resources is associated with burning coal, wood, or other materials found in nature to get the heat.

Problems associated with the production of nuclear energy are air pollution, hazardous solid wastes, potential reactor accidents and harm to animal and plant life.

All the pollution comes from radiation. Current technology uses nuclear fission to produce nuclear energy. In nuclear fission one nuclear core is destroyed to create on that is lighter. Usually, this lighter cores are not stable and because of that they are radioactive and this way they pollute the environment.
