Fossil fules are made from dead fish that have somewhat rotted under the sea bed for thousands of years into oil.
They are all formed in different ways? (not sure sorry)
They burn and hear water to turn a turbine that is connected to a generator that when it is rotated it generates electricity.
Radioactive waste can damage your body very badly from poisoning, it can give you things like cancer and can make people very badly deformed, it is also a pain to dispose of properly so countries are paid to dump it in their seas which kills animals and people.
