什么是“核污水”？
核污水指在事故中直接接触反应堆中放射性物质的水，由于受到沾染而具有高度放射性。这种水要严格存放，经过多道工序处理、专家评估后才能允许被排放到海洋里，否则其带来的生态风险将不可估量。
While nuclear contaminated water means the water that directly touches the radioactive substances in the reactors in accidents, which has itself become highly radioactive. That water must also be strictly processed and evaluated by experts from all parties concerned before being expelled into the ocean. If not, ecological risk may irreversibly turn into ecological damage.
另一个容易混淆的概念是“核废水”~
什么是“核废水”？
核废水是指核电站在正常日常活动中产生的废水，如用于冷却核电站关键部分的水。这些水不会接触到核反应堆中的放射性物质，经过严格处理后，可以通过管道排出。
Nuclear wastewater refers to the wastewater produced in the normal daily activities of nuclear power plants, such as the large quantities of water used to cool down the key parts of nuclear power plants. Because the water doesn't touch the radioactive substances in the nuclear reactor, it can be flushed out after strict processing.
核污水 ≠ 核废水
