Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Nuclear reactors do not produce carbon dioxide or other carbon oxides during operation. Their emissions are mainly water vapor and small amounts of trace gases such as noble gases and tritium. Fossil fuel-powered generators, on the other hand, emit large amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants into the air.
