受到海啸破坏的福岛县东京电力公司(TEPCO)的福岛第一核电站,疑似高度辐射的废水从H6废水存储区中的一个大型废水存储罐中泄露,这张救援照片是由东京电力公司/路透社/在2014年2月20日发布的。
TOKYO (Reuters) - The operator of Japan'sFukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that 100 metric tons of highlycontaminated water had leaked out of a tank, the worst incident since lastAugust, when a series of radioactive water leaks sparked international alarm.
东京(路透社)-周四,日本福岛核电站运营商星期四表示,大约100吨高度污染的废水从存储罐中泄露,是自去年八月以来最严重的(泄露)事件,一系列的放射性水泄漏事件已引起国际上的担忧。
Tokyo Electric Power Co told reporters thelatest leak was unlikely to have reached the ocean. But news of the leak at thesite, devastated by a 2011 earthquake and tsunami, further undercut public trust in a utilityrocked by a string of mishaps and disclosure issues.
东京电力公司告诉记者,这次泄漏出的废水不太可能流入海洋。但据现场透漏出的消息,由于2011年地震和海啸的破坏,与一连串的错误和披露出的问题,进一步动摇了公众对公用事业的信任
"We are taking variousmeasures, but we apologize for worrying thepublic with such a leak," said Masayuki Ono,a spokesman for the utility, also known as Tepco.
“我们正采取各种措施,并且我们因泄露引起公众的担忧而表示抱歉”,公用事业发言人小野正幸说,(他)同时也是东京电力公司知情者。
"Water is unlikely to have reached theocean as there is no drainage in that tank area."
“废水不太可能流入海洋,因为储罐区没有排水系统”
Tepco said water overflowed from a large storagetank at the site late on Wednesday after a valve had remained open by mistakeand sent too much contaminated water into a separate holding area.
东京电力公司说,周二当地晚些时候,由于一个大型储水罐阀门被错误的打开而导致废水溢出,大量的废水已流进一个单独的存放区里。

A worker patrolling the area, around 700 meters from theocean, spotted drips of water leaking through a drainattached to the side of the tank.
一名工人在700米长的海岸区域巡视时,发现连接储水池一侧的排水管产生滴漏。
The utility has been harshly criticized for itsresponse to the three nuclear meltdowns following the quake and tsunami at theplant, 220 km (130 miles) north of Tokyo.
该电厂对三核融毁、地震以及海啸灾难所做出的反映,遭到远在南220公里外东京的严厉批评
A nuclear regulatory official last week said Tepco delayedrelease of record-high measurements of strontium-90 in groundwater despiterepeated requests by the regulator.
核监管官员上周表示,尽管在地下水监管机构再三请求,东京电力公司仍拖延上报地下水锶-90高含量读数纪录。
Initial measurements of the latest incidentshowed the leaked water had a reading of 230 million becquerels per liter ofbeta-emitting radioactive isotopes, including strontium 90.
事件最新初步测量表明,泄露出的水读数为每升β-放射性同位素,2.3亿贝克勒尔。
That level is almost equal to that recorded in last year'sleak of 300 metric tons of contaminated water, deemed a "seriousincident", or level three, on the seven-point international scale forradiological releases.
这几乎与去年泄露的被视为“严重事件”的300吨污水水平一样,或达到3级标准,国际放射性标准共分为7级
The legal limit for releasing strontium 90 into the ocean is30 becquerels per liter.
法律允许释放到海洋中锶-90的上限为30贝可/升。
