Question

Carmen's father gets a job working at a nuclear power plant in a nearby town. Carmen is initially very concerned. Which of Carmen's possible concerns is the MOST scientifically valid?

Answer 1

A nuclear power plant will use nuclear energy to power the town. While nuclear energy is perhaps one of the most effective ways to provide power, a nuclear accident is very dangerous, and could destroy an environment and its organisms. There was a nuclear accident in Chernobyl, Ukraine, in the 1900s. people had to evacuate because of it.
