3月31日出版的《自然》杂志刊登社论——《前车之鉴》( Lessons from the past),就此次福 岛核电站事故带来的负面影响以及核能利用过程中应该注意的问题进行了讨论。以下为文章 主要内容: 福岛核电站的抢险工作目前仍在继续,其造成的政治余波正遍及日本乃至全世界。各国 政府也由此开始了对本国核电项目的安全大检查。 25年前的切尔诺贝利带来的灾难性后果和影响正如今日的福岛一般,而要从切尔诺贝 利核事故恢复过来,恐怕还得再需50年的时间。 核事故带来的影响是全球性的,而公众对核能源的不信任又要求问题必须尽快得到解 当前,许多国家都在建设新核电站。在建设核电站的同时,这些国家也应该花力气在诸 如国际原子能机构这样的监督管理机构进行投入,以确保所有新老核电设施能足够安全运 行,并具有充分的措施应对最坏的情况发生 政府和核工业应重新审视那些持有怀疑态度的公众与自身的关系一一首先要做的是公 开核电设施的不确定成本,保持透明度。要想让公众相信核能是安全的,应该清晰利落地向 他们普及各种技术层面的知识:对于核事故存在的健康隐患,政府也应该尽力向公众传达清 此外,对那些因核污染而患癌的人进行研究,也有助于弄清楚核辐射的危害,而且资助 这样的研究对那些核污染受害者来说,也是至关重要的。(科学网张笑/编译) Lessons from the past Nature.

But only if the necessary follow-up studies are supported. As the battle to make safe the Fukushima nuclear reactors continues, the political fallout is spreading across Japan and around the world. Despite reassuring early reports, it is clear that significant amounts of radioisotopes have been released from the plant, and some workers there face severe radiation exposure as they try to cool the overheated nuclear fuel. In response, several governments are reviewing the safety and future of their own nuclear programmes. Fukushima has undoubtedly strengthened the hand of those who oppose nuclear power.
