Instead, spent fuel rods in the U.S. are currently stored in underground pools of water or in dry-cask storage, where older fuel is put into steel cans filled with inert gas and then stored in silos.
相反，目前美国把用过的燃料棒存放在地下的水池里或装在干桶里，其中年代较远的燃料被放入充满惰性气体的钢罐里，然后存放在废弃的洲际导弹发射井中。
Spraying water on storage pools full of overheating spent uranium fuel rods is not very effective because rising steam dissipates much of the incoming water.
向装有过热铀燃料棒的储存池里撒水效率不高，上升的蒸汽驱散了大量水分。
The pool cooling water must be continuously circulated. Without circulation, the still thermally hot irradiated nuclear fuel in the storage pools will begin to boil off the cooling water.
池中的冷水必须连续循环，如果不循环的话，贮存池中非常热地热放射性核燃料就会将冷水烧沸。
The storage pools, which contain used fuel rods, also need a constant supply of water.
用来存放核废料的储存池也需要立刻灌水冷却。
Experts say rainwater and water sprayed on reactor buildings of the plant to cool their spent fuel storage pools could be flowing into the ocean.
有关专家则表示，带有辐射的雨水以及冷却反应堆之后的海水可能重新流入了福岛核电站附近的海域。
