In some countries that secrecy stemmed from the military USES of nuclear fission.

某些国家，那种秘密是基于将核裂变用军事用途。

Nuclear reactors work in a similar way to other power plants, but instead of using coal or gas to generate heat, they use nuclear fission reactions.

核反应堆的工作原理和其他的发电站很相似，不过它们并不是使用煤炭或煤气来生成热量，而是利用核裂变反应。

Still, in regard to energy independence and greenhouse gases, the benefits of nuclear fission have slowly softened Americans' overall attitudes toward a possible nuclear renaissance.

尽管这样，公众对待核能的整体态度还是在能源主权和温室气体排放等因素的作用下逐渐软化，趋于好转。

If the body view adds the no branching principle, then we can say,look,in the case of this sort of splitting-- This example is known in the to philosophical literature as fission, like nuclear fission when a big atom splits into two.

如果肉体理论加入无分支原则，我们就能说，在这种分裂的情况下-,这种分裂在哲学文献中叫做裂变，就像原子一分为二的核裂变。

Nuclear fission in the context of the span of history is, like the ancient discovery of fire, game-changing.

However, while mining helium-3 from the moon will be one challenge, extracting energy from it is another, as it relies on nuclear fusion, rather than fission used in today's nuclear reactors.

Reactors that exploit nuclear fission (in which energy is generated by splitting uranium atoms) have produced thousands of tonnes of spent fuel and other radioactive by-products.
