    IIRC, coal and gas plants give off more radiation per kWh than nuclear, it's just that they dump it into the atmosphere along with millions of tonnes of other far more dangerous material.

    For coal: into the air and settling into the land around the power plant. People who live near coal power plants are exposed to a lot more radiation than those who live near any other sort of generator
