Question

2. Proponents and opponents of nuclear plants disagree on a number of issues. In particular, the question of safe disposal of nuclear wastes has created strong feelings and considerable conflict. Nuclear power has helped many communities. It provides the additional electricity desperately needed during stress periods such as extremely cold winters and hot summers. Nuclear power has proved to be an important supplement to fossil fuel sources, especially in areas where fossil fuel is scarce.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The disposal of nuclear wastes is something that people really look into. The wastes generated by nuclear reactors remain radioactive for many years and there are no storage solutions for the wastes that can prove long-term.  

Despite all these, nuclear energy has been the largest source of clean energy in countries like the United States of America, where over 800 billion kilowatts hours of electricity are gotten annually from this source which helps many communities mostly during extreme cold winters. Carbon-free electricity can be produced from nuclear sources which helps supplement the use of fossilized fuels mostly where the fossil fuels cannot be easily found.
