Question

In 1999, Congress approved legislation establishing a system to identify states in the West that might provide nuclear storage sites, and promising money to communities that agree to store nuclear waste.

By passing this legislation, which issue was the government addressing?
a. land use
b. education
c. research investment
d. industrial regulation

Answer 1

a. land use

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that permanent nuclear storage sites are lands, in which the waste is placed in a steel container and buried deep inside the soil. But which such land or site is vacated to avoid potential contact of nuclear waste to humans or plants and animals.

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is that the issue the government is trying to address here is the issue of LAND USE.
