??? 專家：海洋生物可以應(yīng)付核泄漏 ????Releases of radioactive water into the ocean near Japan’s stricken nuclear complex shouldn’t pose a widespread danger to sea animals or people who might eat them, experts say. That’s basically because of dilution*. ????“It’s a very large ocean,” noted William Burnett of Florida State University. Very close to the nuclear plant — less than half a mile or so — sea creatures might be in danger of problems like genetic mutation* if the dumping goes on a long time, he said. But there shouldn’t be any serious hazard* farther away “unless this escalates* into something much larger than it has so far,” he said. ????Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, said readings for radioactive iodine* and cesium* show a thousand-fold drop from the shore to monitors about 30 km offshore. ????No fishing is allowed in the vicinity* of the complex. In fact, fish would probably escape radiation because unlike immobile* species such as oysters*, they move around and so do not get a continuous exposure.(SD-Agencies) |
