Question 5 • Chemistry

Which statement is true?

Answer
A
Nuclear power plants require more fuel than conventional power plants.
B
There is a short supply of high quality uranium.
C
Nuclear power plants are inefficient.
D
It is difficult to responsibly dispose of nuclear waste products.

Explanation

Nuclear power produces radioactive waste that must be isolated and managed safely for very long periods, making responsible disposal difficult. Nuclear plants need relatively little fuel compared with conventional plants, and they are not generally considered inefficient. High-quality uranium is not in such short supply that statement B is the best true choice.
