Question

choose the correct answer.
if an accident were to occur in a nuclear power plant, what kind of impacts would it have?
short - term impact on ecosystems
long - lasting consequences on the environment and human health
temporary radiation exposure
minor disruptions to local wildlife

Explanation:

Nuclear power plant accidents release radioactive materials. These materials can contaminate the environment (soil, water, air) for a long - time. Exposure to radiation (not temporary as radioactive materials can persist) can cause long - term health issues like cancer, genetic mutations in humans. Ecosystem impacts are not just short - term or minor. For example, the Chernobyl accident led to long - lasting environmental and health consequences.

Answer:

long - lasting consequences on the environment and human health
