日本在1999年就曾发生过一次4级核事故(又称“东海村核事故”——译注),当时在日本核燃料转换公司(Japan NuclearFuel Conversion)的一个燃料厂内,三名正在为反应堆准备燃料的工人引发了一次链式核反应,使反应堆达到临界状态。

同时相比放射性燃料的一次性使用(即用完就作为核废料填埋),循环利用核燃料会大大增加成本。
However, reprocessing is controversial because the extracted plutonium can be used to produce nuclear weapons. It also costs substantially more than using fuel once and then storing it as waste.
