In each case below, indicate the type of effect described as beneficial, harmful, or both beneficial and harmful. Nuclear power plants generate electrical power without adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but are vulnerable to natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes.

Nuclear power plants provide electricity without adding greenhouse gases during operation, which is beneficial because it helps limit climate change. However, natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis can damage plants and cause serious hazards. Since the effect includes both an advantage and a risk, the correct choice is “both beneficial and harmful.”
