Question

Problem associated with nuclear power plants is

• A. Emmission of hazardous waste
• B. Disposal of radioactive waste
• C. Thermal pollution
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. The heat is used to generate steam that drives a steam turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. The high temperature produced during a nuclear reaction causes thermal pollution thereby affecting the life forms. Radiations are continuously released by radioactive waste produced by these power plants that affect mankind for generations making it hazardous. Thus the correct answer is option D.
