Question
what is the environmental impact of nuclear power plants under normal, everyday conditions when there are no nuclear accidents? low environmental impact high environmental impact no environmental impact
Under normal operation, nuclear power plants produce little air pollution (no greenhouse gases like CO₂ from combustion, unlike fossil fuel plants) and have controlled waste management. While there are concerns about radioactive waste, during normal, accident - free conditions, their direct environmental impact (e.g., on air, water, land in day - to - day operations) is relatively low compared to fossil fuel plants. So the correct option is the one stating low environmental impact.
