How can nuclear energy use potentially affect soil quality?

Anuclear energy use can improve soil quality because radioactive materials are removed from soil during the mining process.
Bnuclear energy use can decrease soil quality through waste products from mining and production processes.
Cnuclear energy use can decrease soil quality through potential leaching of waste products into groundwater during the production process.
Dnuclear energy use has no potential to affect soil quality?

B.)Nuclear energy use can decrease soil quality through waste products from mining and production processes. 

The correct answer is option B, nuclear energy use can decrease soil quality through waste products from mining and production processes.

Reason -

Nuclear energy impacts soil quality adversely. The mining energy results into soil erosion, contamination of soil due to the release of water containing chemicals, destruction of surrounding fauna , destruction of local habitat and ecosystem   and reduces the retention capacity of soil. Also the problem of soil loosening occurs due to vibrations and heavy impacts produced during mining activities.
