Answer 1

The correct option is C

c) Only 1 and 2

Answer 97: C

Explanation: It can play a role in nuclear non-proliferation through the remote monitoring of nuclear reactors. Using Neutrino
detectors, the plutonium content can be monitored remotely and can be used to detect any pilferage. Neutrinos are not harmful to
humans as they almost never react with solid bodies. Geoneutrinos might help creating an earthquake warning system
