基本解釋

One of the biggest problems the nuclear industry faces is what to do with the radioactive waste it produces.
核工業(yè)所面臨的最大問題之一就是如何處理所產(chǎn)生的放射性廢料。
While safety concerns are at the forefront this week, many observers point out an equally urgent problem is what to do with the radioactive waste produced by nuclear plants.
雖然在本周安全問題被推到了頭等大事，但許多觀察員指出還有一個同等緊急的問題，那就是核電站所產(chǎn)生的放射性廢料該如何處置。
Science answers: Spent fuel is more dangerous because it contains a mixture of fission products, some of which can be long-lived radioactive waste, and also plutonium which is highly toxic.
用過的核燃料更具危險性因為它包含了核裂變產(chǎn)物的混合物，這這混合物中的一些東西會變成長時間存在的放射性廢棄物，也有可能是有劇毒的钚。

Fusion produces no greenhouse gases, and, unlike nuclear fission, it does not produce long-lived radioactive waste.
