Question

Which of the following statements would be made by someone arguing against new nuclear power plants? A. Nuclear energy is too expensive to use, so most consumers would not be able to afford it.

B. Nuclear energy cannot be extracted and placed on the market as quickly as fossil fuels can be.
C. Nuclear energy production produces a security risk, and many communities do not wish to have a plant nearby.
D. Nuclear energy is no better for the environment than fossil fuels.

Answer 1

Nuclear energy production produces a security risk, and many communities do not wish to have a plant nearby

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear energy is generated by the breakdown of atom into smaller parts, this process is called nuclear fission, the reaction produces energy which can be use to generate electricity. During the process, atoms that are radioactive gives off part of their nuclear energy as radiation, this nuclear radiation has a very harmful effect on humans and the environment if it is not well contained, hence the reason why the production of a nuclear energy poses a potential security threat to any community near the nuclear power plants.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The statement that would be made by someone arguing against new nuclear power plants is that nuclear energy production produces a security risk, and many communities do not wish to have a plant nearby.
