Solution Q.1.
Which of the following methods would be most suitable for supplying electricity to a remote uranium mining site
such as Jabiluka?
(a) Nuclear power station.
(b) Coal-fired power station.
(c) Hydroelectricity.
(d) Wind-powered generators.
Answer: D
The high capital cost would make nuclear and coal fired power stations uneconomical for a small community.
Hydroelectricity would require the construction of a dam at a considerable height (high capital cost) assuming the
topography and rainfall were suitable which is unlikely.
Wind-powered generators with suitable rechargeable battery back-up would be most suitable
