What are 2 disadvantages of nuclear energy?
The main disadvantages of nuclear energy include its environmental impact, it is extremely water-intensive, there is a risk of nuclear accidents, management of radioactive waste is problematic, and it is non-renewable.
Which is not a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
Which is NOT a disadvantage of nuclear energy? Air pollution occurs while the nuclear plant is active. Nuclear power plants are very difficult to build. Acquiring nuclear fuel requires mining.
Which of the following is a disadvantage of using nuclear energy as a source of electricity apes quizlet?
Disadvantages of nuclear energy include the high cost of building a power plant and safety concerns about the operation of the plant and disposal of spent fuel rods.
How is nuclear energy bad?
Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste
A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
