切尔诺贝利禁区内的火灾仍在向反应堆靠近

Hundreds of firefighters on Monday battled a forest blaze in Ukraine's Chernobyl exclusion zone while officials insisted there was no risk to the ruined reactor and nearby storage facilities for nuclear waste.

周一，数百名消防员在乌克兰切尔诺贝利禁区与森林大火搏斗，而官员们坚称，废弃的反应堆和附近的核废料储存设施没有风险。

There is no threat to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the storage facilities, Volodymyr Demchuk, a senior official from Ukraine's emergency service, said in a video statement late Monday.

“切尔诺贝利核电站和存储设施没有受到威胁。”乌克兰紧急服务部门的高级官员弗拉基米尔德姆丘克(Volodymyr Demchuk)周一晚间在一份视频声明中说。

The fire broke out 10 days ago at the scene of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986.

这场火灾是10天前，在1986年发生的世界上最严重的核事故现场发生的。

Kiev has mobilised helicopters and more than 400 firefighters, with planes dropping tonnes of water on the fire.

基辅动用了直升机和400多名消防队员，在此过程中，飞机向大火空投了数吨水。

Demchuk said firefighters are now focused on stopping the spread.

德姆丘克说，消防队员目前正集中精力阻止灾情蔓延。

While forest fires are common in the exclusion zone, Greenpeace Russia said Monday that this is the worst since the 1986 nuclear explosion.

尽管森林火灾在禁区内很常见，但俄罗斯绿色和平组织(Greenpeace Russia)周一表示，这是自1986年核爆炸以来最严重的一次。

The environmental campaign group said that analysis of satellite images showed the fire at its closest point was just 1.5 kilometres (less than a mile) from the protective dome over the ruined reactor.

环境保护运动组织表示，对卫星图像的分析显示，火灾最严重的地方离受损反应堆的保护圈只有1.5公里(不到1英里)。

Sergiy Zibtsev, head of the Regional Eastern European Fire Monitoring Center, told AFP that the fire is "super-huge" and "unpredictable".

东欧地区火灾监测中心负责人Sergiy Zibtsev告诉法新社，这场火灾是“特大的”和“不可预测的”。

In the west of the exclusion zone it has already covered 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) by our calculations.

“根据我们的计算，禁区西部已经覆盖了2万公顷(5万英亩)。”

The Ukrainian emergency service has not provided recent figures on the size of the fire.

乌克兰紧急服务机构没有提供火灾规模的最新数据。
