Today's program is on the Chernobyl accident.
本期节目聚焦切尔诺贝利核电站事故。
Voice 2: The Chernobyl power plant was a kind of factory. It was in Pripyat, a village in the former Soviet Union. Today, it is in the country of Ukraine. Nuclear power plants make electricity. They use uranium dioxide, a chemical that can be very dangerous. If the machines in a power plant do not work correctly, the chemicals can harm people. This is what happened at the Chernobyl Power Plant.
声音2:切尔诺贝利核电站可以说是一种工厂。该核电站位于普里皮亚特,那里是前苏联的一个村庄。今天,该地在乌克兰境内。核电站的功能是发电。核电站要用到化学物质二氧化铀,这是一种可能会非常危险的物质。如果核电站中的机器无法正常工作,那这些化学物质会对人类造成损害。这就是切尔诺贝利核电站所发生的事情。
