Question

FIRST ANSWER WILL BE BRAINLIEST!!
Scientists are researching ways to produce nuclear power using fusion reactions. How would the impact of this research on the environment likely differ from the impact of nuclear power using fission reactions?

(sorry this is a bit long)
A. The environmental impact from nuclear power by fusion is likely to be less than nuclear power by fission because it does not produce radioactive wastes that need to be stored.

B. The environmental impact from nuclear power by fusion is likely to be greater than nuclear power by fission because it produces highly radioactive isotopes that are difficult to contain.

C. The environmental impact from nuclear power by fusion is likely to be greater than nuclear power by fission because it would require mining rare elements.

D. The environmental impact from nuclear power by fusion is likely to be less than nuclear power by fission because it does not produce greenhouse gases.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The environmental impact from nuclear power by fusion is likely to be less than nuclear power by fission because it does not produce greenhouse gases.

Answer 2

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The correct answer here is A because nuclear fusion doesn't produce radioactive waste, however it does produce helium. (Which isn't a Greenhouse gas.) On the other hand, nuclear fission does produce radioactive waste when an atom is split, not joined like in fusion.
