Nuclear Power
| First | First | Last | Quiz Score Total | 1a) Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using two different elements. Select the correct elements below. | 1b) What do scientists call resources which are not replenished as they are used? | 2a) Because a nuclear power plant contains radioactive elements, at the end of its life, it must be carefully dismantled. This is called decommissioning and this takes many years and is very expensive. | 2b) Once a nuclear power plant has been built, generating electricity produces no carbon dioxide. This means that nuclear power does not contribute to climate change. | 2c) Nuclear power plants contain a large amount of highly radioactive elements. These are potentially extremely dangerous if they are released due to an accident or natural disaster. | 2d) Nuclear power plants generate readioactive waste. This is highly dangerous and must be safely stored for many thousands of years before it is safe. | 2e) A nuclear power plant will always generate a lot of electricity exactly when it is needed. This means nuclear power is extremely reliable. | 3) State the main advantage of generating electricity using nuclear power compared to burning fossil fuels? | Quiz Percentage Grade |
