Question 14 • Physics

Which are advantages of using nuclear reactors to generate electricity? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
Nuclear power produces relatively low carbon dioxide emissions.
B
Nuclear power is readily available.
C
Nuclear power has a high output.
D
Nuclear power uses nonharmful fuel.
E
Nuclear power produces no hazardous byproducts.

Explanation

Nuclear reactors produce electricity with relatively low carbon dioxide emissions during operation, so A is an advantage. They can generate power reliably when needed, and they produce a large amount of electricity, making D and E advantages. Nuclear fuel is radioactive, and reactors create hazardous radioactive waste, so B and C are not advantages.
