should be located only in areas that are extremely geologically stable.

will always leak lethal amounts of radioactivity.

can only be located only in mountain ranges.

should be able to undergo the process of transmutation.

Which of the following statements below is NOT a true statement about nuclear power?

nuclear energy is very cheap, easy to build and easy to maintain.

nuclear power plants are safer than coal power plants.

nuclear waste must be stored for thousands of years.

Why do scientists most want to learn more about fusion?

To make energy for people to use
