問１．以下の文章は、原子力発電における核廃棄物の貯蔵に関する発明の従来技術の説明です。日本語に訳してください。
Geologic storage of nuclear waste has been for the past thirty years theprimary plan for permanent storage of nuclear waste worldwide. However,concerns about the effectiveness of confinement, the loss of the large energy
content of the plutonium waste, the accumulation of thousands of tons ofweapons-useful plutonium in the stored waste, and the possibility of
recriticality of the waste in permanent storage have delayed theimplementation of geologic storage worldwide. At present, no nation has
identified a permanent site for geologic storage of high-level nuclear waste
and implementation of geologic waste storage anywhere is at least a decadeaway. Several nations have attempted to address this problem by destroying
the waste using technologies such as mixed oxide (MOX) waste burning inconventional light water reactors (LWRs) or in fast breeder reactors
converted for waste burning. While some gains are possible using theseapproaches, the impact on the waste problem is either minor or the timescale for making a significant impact is much longer than a humangeneration. Therefore there is no consensus that destruction of waste using
conventional nuclear technology is practical for improving geologic storage
significantly.

問２．以下は、電子顕微鏡のイオン源の先端部１８７の構造に関する説明文です。Start から End までの部分を日本語に訳してください。
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of tip apex 187 (formed of W(111), seediscussion below). Tip apex 187 includes layers of atoms arranged to form
atomic shelves. A terminal atomic shelf is formed by atoms 142. A second
atomic shelf is formed by atoms 144, and a third atomic shelf is formed byatoms 146. Neutral gas atoms 182 delivered by gas source 110 are present in
the vicinity of tip apex 187. Atoms 182 become polarized due to the electricfield of tip apex 187, and experience a relatively weak attractive force thatcauses atoms 182 to move towards tip apex 187, as indicated by the arrows
on atoms 182.
********************************(START)******************************
Depending upon the strength of the tip's electric field, each atoms in theatomic shelves near tip apex 187 can have a corresponding ionization disk148. An ionization disk 148 is a region of space in which a neutral He atom,venturing thereinto, has a high probability of undergoing ionization.
Typically, ionization of a neutral He atom occurs via electron tunneling fromthe neutral He atom to a tip apex atom. Ionization disks 148 therefore
represent spatial regions in which He ions are generated, and from which
the He ions emerge.
The sizes of the ionization disks 148 for particular tip apex atoms aredependent upon the shape of tip apex 187 and the electrical potential applied
to tip apex 187. In general, ionization of He atoms can occur in spatial
regions adjacent to tip apex 187 where the local electric field exceeds theionization potential of He atoms. For a large electric potential applied to tip
apex 187, therefore, many tip atoms will have ionization disks. In addition,
the local electric field in the vicinity of tip apex 187 depends upon the shapeof tip apex 187. For a relatively sharp tip apex, the local electric field in thevicinity of tip apex 187 will be relatively high. For a relatively blunt tip apex,
the local electric field, even in the vicinity of tip apex 187, will be smaller.
*********************************(END)*******************************
Ionization disks 148 corresponding to individual atoms of tip apex 187 are
spatially separated from one another in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, if theelectric field of tip apex 187 is sufficiently large, ionization disks from morethan one atom (e.g., atoms 142) can overlap spatially, creating a larger
ionization disk that spans a region of space proximal to multiple tip apex
atoms. By reducing the electric field at tip apex 187, the volume of space
occupied by ionization disks 148 can be reduced, and the geometry depicted
in FIG. 3 can be realized where a few tip apex atoms each have their own
individual, spatially separated ionization disks. Because, in many instances,the shape of tip apex 187 is not easily altered during use of ion source 120,the electric field in the vicinity of tip apex 187 is typically controlled byadjusting the electrical potential applied to tip apex 187.
