Question

nuclear power plants are an alternative energy source, but they have several disadvantages such as thermal pollution, high environmental impacts from accidents, and a low net energy yield. what is another disadvantage of nuclear power? high construction costs small fuel supply

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Nuclear power plant construction involves complex engineering, safety - critical systems, and strict regulatory compliance. These factors contribute to high construction costs. In contrast, nuclear fuel (e.g., uranium) has a relatively large energy - density, and with proper management (e.g., re - processing in some cases), the fuel supply is not as small as some might assume compared to the energy it can produce.

Answer:

High construction costs
