Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

The major challenges faced by a nuclear power plant are as follows:

• Improper storage and disposal of nuclear waste
• Radioactive sources like uranium, decompose into harmful elements
• Any accidental leakage of radiation causes havoc and destruction to life and property in the vicinity of the plant

These limitations make the construction and working of a nuclear power plant difficult.
