What's the best way to dispose of nuclear waste?
處理核廢料的最佳辦法是什么?
And is it true that scientists have considered sending it into space?
科學家們真的曾動過將這些廢料送往太空的念頭嗎?
Good question.
問的好。
To answer the second part first-yes,sending nuclear waste into space has come up.
為了回答，首先下半句的確屬實，的確曾想到過向太空發射核廢料。
But if a rocket or space shuttle carrying nuclear waste exploded, the radioactive material would spread far and wide.
但如果運送核廢料火箭或航天飛機發生爆炸,那放射性物質會到處傳播。
So it's too dangerous.
這樣未免太過危險。
There have been a few other interesting ideas-such as burying nuclear waste beneath the ocean floor.
而還有一些其他有趣的想法，比如將核廢料埋在海底深處。
Scientists have also thought about putting waste in really deep holes, burying it in polar ice sheets, and stashing it beneath uninhabited islands.
科學家也想過把垃圾埋在深深的洞穴中及極地冰蓋中,并且想過送往無人居住的島嶼。
