Answer 2

Nuclear power plants

Explanation:

Elements that can be used for generation of electricity in a nuclear power plant are uranium, plutonium and thorium.

Many nuclear power plants could not be installed in a country because of the very high cost of installation of the reactor and high risk of environmental contamination in case of adverse events. Any accident or meltdown in the nuclear reactor could result in radiation leakage.
