Which statement presents a positive viewpoint on nuclear power that is supported by this article?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nuclear by-products provide nourishment to soil and plants. Radiation from nuclear plants causes no harm to human beings. Production of nuclear energy is inexpensive and nonpolluting. Nuclear power is the safest and most hassle-free source of energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nuclear energy is cheaper to produce than other forms of energy. First, the elements used to create nuclear energy are plentiful. Little nuclear fuel is needed to produce a lot of electricity. A single pellet of nuclear fuel, which is just a little bit thicker than a pencil and about 1.5 centimeters long, makes as much energy as a metric ton of coal or four barrels of petroleum. Second, the creation of nuclear energy is clean; it does not pollute the air as the burning of coal does. While nuclear energy sounds like the answer to the world’s prayers, it is not. Perhaps the most important argument against nuclear power is that it produces dangerous waste that is difficult to dispose of. The fuel used to create nuclear power is uranium-235. It is split at the atomic level by the process of fission, which then causes the release of energy and the production of plutonium. Plutonium is an unusable and highly radioactive waste product. But where do you store something like that? The radiation takes time to break down and become harmless. In the case of plutonium-239, it takes 24,000 years for half of the radioactivity to break down. In the past, nuclear plants put the nuclear waste in lead barrels and buried them in the ground. If this waste were to leak from the barrels, it could contaminate our water supply, presumably forever. The nuclear power industry is trying to find more permanent ways to dispose of radioactive waste. The Department of Energy (DOE) is analyzing a site in Yucca Mountain, Nevada, that appears to be a good candidate for waste disposal. The plan is to put the waste in lead containers and deposit them in the rock formations in the mountains. The stability of the rocks and the area is critical to the plan’s success, and the DOE’s research has shown that the site has been undisturbed for millions of years. Unfortunately, what the proponents of the plan are not admitting is that humans cannot rule nature. Those against the plan believe the site is unsafe. They point to potential volcanic activity, earthquakes, water infiltration, underground flooding, and nuclear chain reactions as threats. In addition, the presence of fossil fuel and mineral deposits could encourage people to mine there, which could jeopardize the stability of the waste deposits.

your best answer is "Production of nuclear energy is inexpensive and nonpolluting." onsiering that they are talking about how it could leak and damage water supplies, and creates a useless by-product The fact that it takes so little fuel to make so much energy is the best viewpoint here
