Yes, correct.
From my third floor window I look across the bay to the Seabrook nuclear power plant. If it blows NW, as it always does after a NE gale, it is 9 miles straight to windward. Answer A is not correct.
Thank you Damon and 'Spring Allergies'.
The correct answer is b. Nuclear energy produces large amounts of energy with small amounts of fuel.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options a, c, and d because they are all disadvantages of nuclear energy. This leaves you with option b as the advantage of nuclear energy. The advantage is that it can produce substantial amounts of energy using a relatively small amount of fuel, making it an efficient source of power.
