Question

which of the following is a challenge associated with nuclear waste? high volume of emissions no long - term storage or disposal options low building cost for plants

Explanation:

• Analyze "high volume of emissions": Nuclear waste is not mainly about high - volume emissions (nuclear power plants' operation has other emission - related aspects, and waste is more about storage/disposal).
• Analyze "no long - term storage or disposal options": Nuclear waste is radioactive and has a long - lived nature. Finding safe, long - term storage or disposal methods is a major challenge as improper handling can be hazardous for a long time.
• Analyze "low building cost for plants": Low building cost is not a challenge of nuclear waste; in fact, nuclear plants are often costly to build, and this is unrelated to waste challenges.

Answer:

B. no long - term storage or disposal options
