Question

Nuclear power plants produce large amounts of _______. a. air pollution b. noise pollution c. light pollution d. none of the above Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

Nuclear power plants do not produce significant air, noise, or light pollution during operation, so the correct answer is d. none of the above. They generate electricity through fission without emitting common air pollutants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear power plants produce large amounts of electrical energy with minimal environmental impact in terms of air, noise, and light pollution. The correct answer to the student's question is d. none of the above. Nuclear plants operate by fission, which does not emit air pollutants like particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, or carbon dioxide during operation. Hence, nuclear power is considered a cleaner form of energy in these respects. However, there are concerns about radioactive waste, which requires careful long-term management and storage to prevent environmental contamination.

Answer 2

None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the waste from the power plants is stored correctly is is a fairly earth friendly method of gaining energy. But not stored correctly can contaminate water, air, and food.
