250公里之外的福岛第一核电站,成百上千的东京电力公司雇员和一些转包商正试图阻止由三个损坏的核反应堆和各种来源的废燃料产生的放射性物质的进一步泄露。他们的工作环境非常的糟糕。有时,他们在暴露的几小时内所承受的辐射量就超过了他们理应一年承受的量,配给的食物是饼干和罐装食品,人手一张毯子,睡觉就打地铺。部分工作人员已经在造成了27,690人死亡或失踪的海啸中失去了房屋和家庭。东京电力公司把他们视作战士:一位高层说:我们不认为他们是英雄,他们正在做自己该做的事。
TEPCO is getting most of the blame for Japans nuclear disaster. For much of the past threeweeks, the authorities have held out hopes that they could regain control by reconnectingcooling systems damaged by the tsunami. These are supposed to prevent fuel from meltingand rupturing the protective steel case of the reactor vessels.
东京电力公司受到了源于日本核灾难的大多数指责。在过去的三个多星期里,当局提出希望通过重新连接在海啸中损坏的冷却系统来重新控制局势。他们要阻止燃料融化和破坏反应堆容器的保护性外铁壳。
This week the discovery of large pools of highly radioactive water and raised levels of radiationin seawater near the plant has shown how far the authorities really are from regaining control.Previous releases of radioactive iodine and caesium had shown that material from the core ofat least one reactor has been released. The new findings suggest that the systems designed tocontain such releases may have been badly compromised. The tanks into which contaminatedwater is being pumped will eventually fill up. And conditions for workers are getting moredangerous, which means that fixing up the cooling systems and hooking up vital measuringinstruments takes longer.
