Environmental groups and neighbours condemn plan to release more than 1m tonnes of contaminated water in two years time.

环境组织与日本的邻国对在两年时间排放超过100万吨核污染水的计划表示谴责。

Japan has announced it will release more than 1m tonnes of contaminated water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, a decision that has angered neighbouring countries, including China, and local fishers.

日本已经宣布，它将释放超过100万吨从福岛核电计划失事中产生的核污染水到海洋中，这个决定激怒了邻近的国家，包括中国，还有本地渔民。

Official confirmation of the move, which came more than a decade after the nuclear disaster, will deal a further blow to the fishing industry in Fukushima, which has opposed the measure for years.

在核灾难发生十多年后，官方确认了这一举措，进一步打击了福岛渔业，该行业多年来一直反对此举。

The prime minister, Yoshihide Suga, told a meeting of ministers on Tuesday that the government had decided that releasing the water into the Pacific Ocean was the "most realistic" option, and "unavoidable in order to achieve Fukushima's recovery".

首相菅义伟在周二（2020年4月13日）在一次内阁会议上表示，政府已经决定，向太平洋排放水是“最现实的”选项，并且“为了完成福岛的复苏，此举不可避免”。

The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power [Tepco], and government officials say tritium, a radioactive material that is not harmful in small amounts, cannot be removed from the water, but other radionuclides can be reduced to levels allowed for release.

计划的执行者，东京电气电力公司（Tepco）和政府官员们表示，氚这种放射性物质，小剂量是无害的，无法从水里移除，不过其他放射性核可以减少到允许排放的程度。

"The Japanese government has compiled basic policies to release the processed water into the ocean, after ensuring the safety levels of the water ... and while the government takes measures to prevent reputational damage," Suga told reporters.

“日本政府已经编制了基本政策，在确保水的安全之后，才将处理后的水排放到大洋里……同时政策也会采取措施防止当地的声誉受损”菅义伟告诉记者。

Work to release the diluted water will begin in about two years, the government said, with the entire process expected to take decades.

日本政府表示，排放稀释水的工作将从大概两年后开始，而整个处理预计需要几十年的时间。
