the ans should be A, if u are controling something by remote it means you dont make contact i.e not close to it at all so B is not valid

The correct answer is: A. Radioactive materials are stored in glass casings

Explanation: Glass casings are not suitable for storing radioactive materials due to their fragility and low shielding capacity against radiation. In contrast:

B, C, and D are all valid and standard safety precautions in nuclear stations:

B. Remote-controlled tongs prevent direct contact.

C. Radio-sensitive badges monitor radiation exposure.

D. Thick-walled lead containers effectively shield radiation.



So, A is not a safety precaution.
