Question

question 7 of 10
which of the following is not a potential benefit of using more nuclear energy?
a. fuel is easy to move, so there is less pollution from shipping
b. more air pollution
c. cost of fuel is very low
d. proper control can ensure safe handling

Explanation:

Nuclear energy has several benefits. The fuel (e.g., uranium) is relatively easy to transport compared to large - volume fossil fuels like coal, reducing shipping - related pollution. The cost of nuclear fuel is low as a small amount of fuel can produce a large amount of energy. With proper control (e.g., in nuclear power plants), safe handling can be ensured. However, nuclear energy does not produce more air pollution. In fact, it is a low - carbon energy source compared to fossil fuels which are major contributors to air pollution.

Answer:

B. More air pollution
