Question 4 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Which of the following statements about nuclear energy is true?

Answer
A
Nuclear energy cannot be contained nor controlled.
B
Nuclear energy is contained in nuclear bonds.
C
Nuclear energy is less efficient than other energy forms.
D
All of the above are true.

Explanation

Nuclear energy is associated with the forces and binding energy within an atom’s nucleus, so the true statement is that it is contained in nuclear bonds. Nuclear reactions can be controlled in power plants, and nuclear energy is not less efficient than other energy forms in general. Therefore, the other statements—and “all of the above”—are false.
