Nuclear Age
The Oyster Creek nuclear plant in New Jersey opened when the Beatles were still together, and since 1969 its single 645MW boiling-water reactor has provided enough energy to power 600,000 homes annually.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has focused new attention on the【C5】______future of the American atomic sector.

选项
A、adjusted
B、applied
C、extended
D、stored
答案
C
解析
空格前是“40-year licenses”,空格后是“60 or even 80 years”,可知许可证有效期被延长了。“extend”指在一个方向上的延伸、加长:extend a railway将铁路延长;adjust意思是“(改变……以)适应,调整,校正;调准(望远镜等)”;“apply”意思是“应用,运用;申请”;“store”意思是“储藏,存放”。
