Answer:

D.

The radioactive wastes it produces can spread to any part of the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fission is the name given to the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two medium-mass nuclei. Fission is said to be induced if it results from the absorption of a neutron to form an unstable nucleus that decays by fission. The induced fission usually produces further neutrons accompanying the fission fragments.
