Question

dangers of nuclear power plants • nuclear accidents or “meltdowns” could lead to radiation leaking into the air, which could be lethal. • another concern regarding nuclear power was that it creates toxic waste as a byproduct, which is not easy to get rid of. • because of these risks, many americans turned against the potential use of nuclear power. what are two benefits of nuclear power? cheap and lasts forever risk-free and simple to harness controversial and no byproducts

Explanation:

• Option B is incorrect as nuclear power has risks (like meltdowns) and isn't simple to harness.
• Option C is incorrect as nuclear power is controversial (due to risks) and produces toxic waste (byproduct).
• Option A is correct: Nuclear power can be cost - effective (cheap) in the long run, and nuclear fuel (like uranium) has a relatively long - lasting energy - producing capacity compared to some other energy sources, so it can be considered to “last forever” in practical terms for energy production relative to shorter - lived fuel sources.

Answer:

A. cheap and lasts forever
