Question

Which of the following is an example of an advantage AND a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
(2 Points)


Gravity

Advantage: nuclear power plants produce no greenhouse gases. Disadvantage: the storing and processing waste is dangerous and remains radioactive for 1000s of years.

Advantage: nuclear power plants produce a lot of greenhouse gases. Disadvantage: maintaining safe reactors can be very expensive.

Advantage: Building the nuclear power plants is not that expensive. Disadvantage: the energy produced by uranium is relatively small.

Answer 1

The second choice:
"Advantage: nuclear power plants produce no greenhouse gases. Disadvantage: the storing and processing waste is dangerous and remains radioactive for 1000s of years."

(That correctly lists a true advantage and a true disadvantage of nuclear energy.)
