yes, it is dangerous because of the radiation that emits from the core at the bottom of the tank, however the radiation at the surface will only cause health issues later in life such as cancer and tumors, but swimming under the water in the tank deeper down near the core will expose your body to deadly doses of radiation the farther down you go.

Why nuclear power plant is dangerous?

A nuclear power plant is no more dangerous than a fossil power plant. In fact, taking into account the global picture, it is less dangerous, from an economic, and an ecological standpoint. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the fact is that radiation hazard is mitigated by the dilution effects of the atmosphere and oceans and, looking at the big picture, nuclear power plants are safer than fossil power plants, hands down.

What dangerous wastes are produced by nuclear power plants?

Power plants do not produce "dangerous radioactive waves" or "dangerous electromagnetic waves" or "dangerous subsonic sounds" or anything of that nature.

How do nuclear plants affect sea life?

The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.

Is nuclear power plant as dangerous as nuclear weapons?

Nuclear power plants are designed with safety features to prevent accidents and limit the release of radiation. While accidents can still occur, the risk of a catastrophic event is much lower than with nuclear weapons, which are intentionally designed to cause destruction on a large scale.
