Japan to start releasing Fukushima wastewater as soon as Thursday
日本政府宣布8月24日啟動福島核污水排海
Japanese government announced Tuesday it has decided to start releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean on Thursday, weather conditions permitting.
日本政府22日宣布,決定在天氣條件允許的情況下,于24日開始將受地震破壞的福島第一核電站的核污染水排入大海。
Despite raging opposition from both home and abroad, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced the controversial decision following a ministerial meeting held on Tuesday morning.
盡管核污染水排海計劃遭到國內外強烈反對,日本首相岸田文雄仍在22日上午召開閣僚會議后宣布了這一有爭議的決定。
Representatives of the country's fishing industry on Monday reiterated their firm opposition to the ocean discharge plan during Kishida's meeting with the head of Japan's national fisheries federation in hopes of gaining understanding.
21日,岸田文雄與日本全國漁業聯合會會長舉行會談,就核污染水排海計劃向日本漁業從業者尋求理解。日本漁業代表重申了他們對該計劃的堅決反對。
Hit by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and an ensuing tsunami on March 11, 2011, the plant suffered core meltdowns that released radiation, resulting in a level-7 nuclear accident, the highest on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale.
2011年3月11日,受9.0級地震和海嘯雙重影響,福島第一核電站發生堆芯熔毀,導致放射性物質泄漏。福島核泄漏事故屬于7級,這是國際核事件分級表中分類為最嚴重的等級。
The plant has been generating a massive amount of water tainted with radioactive substances from cooling down the nuclear fuel in the reactor buildings, which are now being stored in about 1,000 storage tanks.
為冷卻反應堆建筑中的核燃料,產生了大量被放射性物質污染的水,這些核污染水目前儲存在大約1000個存儲罐中。
In 2015, the Japanese government and the Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the plant, made an agreement with fisheries cooperative associations of both Fukushima prefecture and the nation that they will not proceed with any wastewater disposal "without the understanding of relevant parties."
2015年,日本政府和福島第一核電站運營商東京電力公司與福島縣漁業協會聯合會和日本全國漁業協會聯合會達成共識,在沒有得到利益攸關方的理解前,不會對核污染水采取任何處置措施。
A total of 88.1 percent surveyed expressed concerns over the government's plan to discharge treated radioactive wastewater into the ocean, as the disapproval rate of the Kishida-led cabinet rose to an eight-month high, according to the latest opinion poll conducted by the national news agency Kyodo.
日本共同社最新民調顯示,岸田文雄領導的內閣反對率升至八個月來新高,88.1%的受訪者對日本政府的放射性核污染水排海計劃表示擔憂。
