Please don't guess, try to give the right answer

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The energy in nuclear fission produces chemicals that harm the environment.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants produce radioactive wastes such as the uranium mill tailings, used reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes.

Radioactivity of this waste lasts forever and is very harmful to the living world.

During accidents in nuclear power plants, enriched uranium ends up in the environment, this leads to health problems such as kidney diseases.
