Question

which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? their are few negative impacts from mining the fuel. reactions are safe from natural disasters. their are little to no waste products from fission. nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

Explanation:

To determine a valid argument for nuclear power, we analyze each option:

• "There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel": Mining nuclear fuel (like uranium) has environmental and health impacts, so this is incorrect.
• "Reactions are safe from natural disasters": Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, tsunamis) can cause nuclear accidents (e.g., Fukushima), so this is incorrect.
• "There are little to no waste products from fission": Nuclear fission produces radioactive waste, so this is incorrect.
• "Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases": Nuclear power plants don't emit CO₂ or other greenhouse gases during operation, which is a key advantage over fossil fuels. This is a valid argument.

Answer:

Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases
