Question

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

Explanation:

• "low building cost for plants" is incorrect as nuclear plants have high building costs, not low, and this is not a nuclear waste challenge.
• "high volume of emissions" is incorrect because nuclear power produces very low - volume emissions compared to fossil fuels, and it's not a main nuclear waste challenge.
• "easy disposal options" is incorrect; nuclear waste disposal is difficult due to its radioactivity and long - lived nature.
• "no long - term storage or disposal options" is correct. Nuclear waste is highly radioactive and remains dangerous for a long time. Finding safe, long - term storage or disposal methods (like deep geological repositories) is a major challenge as there are limited viable long - term solutions currently.

Answer:

D. no long - term storage or disposal options
