Answer:
nuclear wastes can be safely disposed of
Explanation:
In comparing fossil fuel power plants with nuclear power plants, it is obvious that fossil fuel power plants lead to a large volume of emission of oxides of carbon and sulphur.
Also, a larger volume of coal needs to be burnt to generate energy compared to a minute amount of uranium fuel that can sustain a nuclear power plant for a long period of time thereby reducing the environmental damage associated with mining of the fuel.
However, the problem of nuclear waste disposal have remained a thorn in the flesh. It is often difficult to safely dispose of spent uranium fuel. This is a major disadvantage of the use of nuclear power.
