Question

what are the potential problems for nearby water sources when using nuclear energy? check all that apply. it contaminates water with radioactive waste. it adds very hot water to cool water environments. it creates hazardous conditions for organisms living in the water. it releases uranium dust. it requires mining large areas of land. it uses a resource that becomes scarce during a drought.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy can contaminate water with radioactive waste. Cooling processes in nuclear power - plants can add hot water to water bodies, creating hazardous conditions for aquatic organisms. Releasing uranium dust, land - mining, and using water resources that may be scarce during drought are not direct problems for nearby water sources related to using nuclear energy itself.

Answer:

It contaminates water with radioactive waste.
It adds very hot water to cool water environments.
It creates hazardous conditions for organisms living in the water.
