Question
spent nuclear fuel rods are stored in dry casks. what is a major drawback to nuclear energy? only time can reduce the radioactivity of the waste. it produces less pollution. energy can only be produced on sunny days.
Nuclear energy generates radioactive waste. The radioactivity of this waste can only decrease over time, which poses long - term storage and safety challenges. Producing less pollution is an advantage, not a drawback. And nuclear energy production is not dependent on sunny days as it is a non - renewable energy source based on nuclear reactions, not solar energy.
