Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Super critical and ultra-super critical (USC) technologies are capable of substantially reducing $ CO _2 $ emissions and virtually eliminate PM emissions. It requires less coal per megawatt-hour, leading to lower emissions (including carbon dioxide), higher efficiency and lower fuel costs per megawatt. These technologies are not used in nuclear power stations.
