Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Q.

Which of these following methods is the most suitable for the disposal of nuclear waste?

1. Bury the waste within rocks deep below the Earth’s surface

2. Shoot the waste into space

3. Bury the waste under the Antarctic ice-cover

4. Dump the waste within rocks under deep ocean

Q. Assertion: Radioactive wastes are pre-treated and stored in containers 500 m below the earth’s surface

Reason: Nuclear radiation in low doses causes mutations and is lethal in high doses

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion
2. Both assertion and reason are false
3. Assertion is true but reason is false
4. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
