Is it true that operating nuclear power plants produce almost no air pollution or carbon dioxide emissions?

Yes. One peer-reviewed source states nuclear energy has no atmospheric emissions or pollution (or close to none) and avoids increasing the greenhouse effect, while another says nuclear power plants do not produce carbon and a skeptics discussion concedes nuclear power reduces carbon footprint and air pollution to some extent.
