One is that nuclear power has to account for and financially compensate its passive radiation emissions. This is unique to nuclear power, even though passive emissions from nuclear plants are less than 10 times lower than radiation emissions from coal power plants. Clearly we don't care that much about the harmful effects of the radiation emissions, and if we do then coal should be charged for the current and past emissions.
