What pollutants do nuclear power plants generate?

Not many, unless something goes wrong. No greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide) are generated in nuclear power plants, and each only produces roughly one cubic meter of waste per year. As long as this is properly taken care of, nuclear power plants are one of the cleanest forms of energy.
