(2) Stable isotopes are used as reactants.
(3) There is no chance of biological exposure.
(4) A large amount of energy is produced.

Answered by maham237 @


The correct answer is (4) A large amount of energy is produced in a nuclear fission reaction.
Choice (1) is false, the products are radioactive, and often have to be buried underground for long periods of time. Choice (2) is false, because the reactants are often unstable to allow them to decay and release energy. Choice (3) is false, because the radioactive substances can affect living organisms.
