Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

解答:

你好,我是一个高中生,翻译不好,仅供你参考!

核能的危险对于健康,安全,乃至生命来说,可以被描绘成一个词语:“辐射”
核辐射它本身有着某种神奇,一部分是因为它不能够被人的感光所探测。它不能够被看见,听见,触摸到,或者尝到。举一个例子,电波无处不在,但是我们不能够探测到它们,感觉到它们,没有电波接收器。同样的,我们不能感觉到放射性物质在没有辐射探测器下。但是不像普通的电波,核辐射不是对人类和其它生物没有伤害。
在非常高的水平,辐射可以彻头彻尾地杀死一个动物或人通过杀死重要器官的大量细胞。但是甚至最低的水平可以有很严重的伤害。那儿没有一种水平的辐射是完全健康的。如果那个辐射并没有伤害到任何重要的东西,伤害也许并不重要。这儿有种情况当只有很少的细胞被伤害到,而且如果它们都被完全的杀死。你的身体将会用健康的细胞代替那些死亡的细胞。但是如果那些细胞仅仅是遭到严重损害,而且如果它们重新产生它们自己,你就有可能陷入麻烦之中。它们重新产生它们自己在一个不同寻常的方式。它们可能发展成癌症。有时候这个好几年都不会出现。
这是另一个原因关于核辐射的神奇之处。严重的伤害可能被完成,在伤害已经发生的时候人们没有这方面的知识。一个人可以被放射治疗而且感觉良好,然后作为一个结果在五年,十年,或者二十年由于癌症死掉。或者作为辐射被他的祖父母所吸收的结果,一个孩子可能很虚弱的生下来或者容易得到严重的疾病。
辐射可能伤害到我们,我们必须认识这个事实。
