1 First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built', the ．containers used for the transport of the materials are not． 2 Unfortunately, both' of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through heavily populated areas．
Second, there is the problem of waste． 3 It is impossible to make these wastes non—radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways ．that scientists have invented．For example? they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea．However, these methods do not 'solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers．
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak or an explosion at the power station．As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely to take place． 4 However, it can happen．

While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare．It's estimated that more than 2 million people have left the list since 1994．

"More people are getting jobs, but it's not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington．A center analysis of US Census data （户口普查资料） nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed families were earning money on their own, but that average income for these families actually went down．
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory．"Welfare was a poison．It was a poisonous substance that was poisoning the family," says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst．"The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities．It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic （道德观）, which is much more important．"
Mr．Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards．
