While more cost-effective, boiling water reactors are disadvantageous because _____.

they must be built near public water sources
the steam produced has a greater likelihood of being contaminated with radiation than in a pressurized water reactor
they require much more water than other types of reactors
they take up much more space than other types of reactors

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. the steam produced has a greater likelihood of being contaminated with radiation than in a pressurized water reactor

Explanation:

A boiling water reactor produces heat using nuclear fission in the reactor core. This causes the water to boil and emit steam. The radiation from the nuclear fission is transferred to the water as it heats up, and the radiation is then emitted with the steam

Answer:

the steam produced has a greater likelihood of being contaminated with radiation than in a pressurized water reactor

Explanation:

is the correct answer.
