Which environmental hazard is directly related to nuclear power production?

Nuclear power production uses radioactive materials, so a leak from a power plant or its waste storage can release harmful radiation into the environment. This makes radiation leakage the hazard directly related to nuclear power. Land stripping and soil erosion are mainly associated with activities such as mining or deforestation, while global warming is linked chiefly to greenhouse gas emissions.
