Nuclear fuel "means any material which is capable of producing energy by a self-sustaining process of nuclear fission and which is used or intended for use in a nuclear ship."

“核燃料”，是指能够通过自身的核裂变过程产生能量，并且被用于或意图用于核动力船舶的任何物质。

When enough of these neutronsproduce further fissions—rather than escaping, bouncing off or being absorbedby atoms that do not split apart—the process becomes self-sustaining.

足够多的中子就会引发进一步的裂变—不是逃走，要么撞击原子，要么被没有裂开的原子吸收—演变成自动维持的过程。

In this process, Source maintains Itself as the perpetual and infinitely self-sustaining energy of Source that can never be depleted.

在这个过程中，源头保持它自身并且作为永久和无限的可自我维持的能量源头，能量将永不枯竭。
