O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/M/J/25

Explanation
Accurate pros and cons of nuclear power
Steps:
- Recall nuclear power advantages: low carbon emissions during operation.
- Recall disadvantages: generation of radioactive waste requiring safe disposal.
- Evaluate options for factual accuracy on renewability and weather independence.
- Match correct pair to option A.
Why A is correct:
- Nuclear fission releases energy without combusting fuel, emitting no CO2, but produces radioactive byproducts per nuclear reaction principles.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Nuclear plants operate continuously, unaffected by weather unlike renewables.
- C: Uranium fuel is finite and non-renewable, not replenished naturally.
- D: Nuclear fuel is non-renewable and weather-independent.
Final answer: A
Topic: Energy resources
