Question 10 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B
Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be isolated and carefully managed for a long time, making responsible disposal difficult. They need much less fuel by mass than conventional plants because nuclear reactions release far more energy per unit of fuel, so A is false. High-quality uranium is not generally considered in short supply, and nuclear plants are not inherently inefficient, so B and C are false.
