3.What is a disadvantage of nuclear energy generation?
One answer only.
A.Nuclear power plants are one of the leading causes of global warming. Global warming is primarily due to thermal pollution.
B.Nuclear power plants are considered high-risk. Any accident may leak radioactive materials into the environment.
C.Nuclear power plants cause air and water pollution during their regular operation. Nuclear power is a leading cause of air pollution.
D.Nuclear power plants are far more expensive to run. Nuclear power is not as affordable as other types of power.
Which best represents a negative consequence of using nuclear power technology? *
a. nuclear reactions are less efficient than other types of exothermic reactions.b. the estimated supply of uranium will fuel nuclear reactors for less than 100 years.c. steam from nuclear reactors may accumulate in the environment and disturb the water cycled. radioactive waste from reactors is toxic and must be stored safely for thousands of years.
2.What are some of the advantages of nuclear energy generation?
Select two that apply.
Nuclear power plants produce a smaller quantity of waste than coal.
The waste from nuclear power plants is safer and cheaper to transport.
Nuclear power plants use renewable energy sources to generate electricity.
Nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases such as CO2.
