- 1. Multiple Choice
Nuclear power stations generate electricity through nuclear fission. Electricity can also be generated by burning shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas trapped in rocks. Shale gas can be extracted by a process called fracking. There is some evidence that fracking causes minor earthquakes. Burning shale gas adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of nuclear power compared with the use of shale gas to generate electricity.
no carbon dioxide emitted
nuclear power doesn’t cause earthquakes
more energy released per kg of fuel
nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste
