Most nuclear power plants are located along lakes, rivers or seacoasts because the facilities use water to cool the reactors. Cooling water discharged from a plant can affect the ambient habitat conditions for aquatic species

<u>Answer:</u>

Nuclear power plants impact the water resources by making them inhabitable for the survival of aquatic species.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Nuclear power plants need huge amounts of water in order to cool the reactors down.
  • This water is fetched from nearby resources of freshwater resulting in an imbalance in the availability of water in the resources.
  • Secondly, the water that is cooled down and used to keep the reactors cold is released back in the same resources of water.
  • This addition of excessively cold water makes it hard for the aquatic species to sustain the drastic change in the temperature of the water.

Explain why the percentage of older dependents in the world is increasing
Fittoniya [83]
Less children are being born due to increased efforts to lower the CBR (crude birth rate) and improve contraceptive methods. This results in less children being born, meaning that the older people are increasing in dependency (because there's more older people in the older generations vs the newer)
