韩国两核反应堆因故障关闭 Two S. Korean Nuclear Reactors Shut Down by Malfunctions

02 October, 2012

韩国两座核反应堆先后出现看来是互不关联的故障后关闭。韩国官员说，没有核辐射泄漏的危险。

韩国操作核反应堆的人员说，釜山附近的新古里一号核反应堆的控制棒出现问题，于星期二早晨关闭。

稍后，有关官员说，首尔以南260公里处的灵光核电厂5号反应堆也出现和新古里的核反应堆不关联的故障。

韩国的核电厂提供全国所需电力的三分之一以上。尽管去年日本发生了核泄漏事故，但是资源贫乏的韩国仍然大力推动核能发电。

Two South Korean nuclear power reactors have been shut down following apparently unrelated malfunctions.  Officials say there is no danger of a radiation leak.

South Korean nuclear operators say the Shingori-1 reactor, near the city of Busan, was shut down early Tuesday following a control rod malfunction.

A short time later, the number 5 reactor at the Yeonggwang facility, 260 kilometers south of Seoul, also suffered what officials say appears to be an unrelated malfunction.

South Korea depends on atomic plants to generate more than one-third of its electricity. The resource-poor country has vowed to push forward with nuclear power, despite last year's nuclear disaster in Japan.
