D Correct answer
Explanation

Options A, B, and C all describe real obstacles to nuclear energy development (high costs, safety risks, waste disposal). Option D claims nuclear power is clean and cheap - while it has low emissions, 'cheap' is debatable and this statement doesn't describe an OBSTACLE, making it the correct answer to the NOT question.
