Example Question #4 : Energy Sources And Production
Which of the following is a pressing issue with the production of nuclear energy?
Possible Answers:
Various cancers afflicting local wildlife
Where to store spent fuel waste
Destruction as a result from frequent nuclear blasts
Heavy air pollution
Prices for energy are too low for it to be profitable
Correct answer:
Where to store spent fuel waste
Explanation:
Producing nuclear energy is a lot cleaner than most people realize, and while it is expensive (but still profitable), it represents a legitimate option for producing cleaner energy. The main drawback is that the resulting "spent fuel" has to be secured and stored, because it cannot be safely disposed of without significant repercussions.
