Answer: Provide the nuclear power plant with a plan to properly dispose of and recycle the wastes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nuclear power plant is producing huge amounts of electricity which is beneficial to the economy as it pushes growth. Shutting it down or relocating it is therefore not the right solution.

The problem is the radioactive waste being produced so a solution that is specific to this problem should suffice. That solution would be the provision of the nuclear plant with plans to properly dispose of the waste.

Should this happen, the nuclear plant can still stay in the same area and keep contributing to economic growth without adversely affecting people's heath.
