Solution
The correct option is
C
Use uranium rod and inside environment should be shielded
→
The nuclear energy can turn into the strong blast due to exponential growth in its reaction process. We use Uranium rods to control the reaction.
→
The inside environment must be shielded from outside because its reaction with water & air causes potential health hazard.
