Question

nuclear power plants produce radioactive wastes. over time, scientists have made many different proposals for disposing of these wastes. today, most radioactive waste is buried deep underground. what risk does this most likely pose?
a. disruption of geothermal energy sources
b. contamination of groundwater
c. decrease of local air quality
d. destruction of the soils fertility

Explanation:

放射性废物深埋地下，最可能会通过渗透等方式污染地下水。地热能来源与放射性废物深埋关联不大；放射性废物深埋地下对当地空气质量影响较小；相比之下，污染地下水是更主要风险，对土壤肥力破坏不是最主要风险。

Answer:

B. contamination of groundwater
