Question
which of the following is an environmental problem associated with using nuclear power as the primary energy source?
destruction of the ozone layer
disposal of radioactive waste
accumulation of co2 in the air
increased production of acid rain
Nuclear power generation produces radioactive waste which is difficult to dispose of safely due to its long - lasting radioactivity. Ozone layer destruction is mainly caused by substances like chlorofluorocarbons. Nuclear power doesn't emit carbon dioxide or contribute to acid rain as it doesn't involve combustion processes like fossil fuels.
