Question

negative environmental consequences of nuclear power include
a ozone depletion
b air pollution, including carbon emissions
c waste that is radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years
d all of the above

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ozone depletion is mainly caused by substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), not directly by nuclear power. Nuclear power does not emit carbon - containing pollutants during normal operation, so it does not contribute to air pollution in terms of carbon emissions. However, nuclear power generates radioactive waste that remains radioactive for long periods, which is a significant negative environmental consequence.

Answer:

C. Waste that is radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years
