德国野生蘑菇样本中仍有放射性污染

Around 95% of wild mushroom samples collected in Germany in the last six years still showed radioactive contamination from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, albeit not above legal limits, the German food safety regulator said on Friday.

德国食品安全监管机构周五表示，过去六年在德国采集的野生蘑菇样本中，约95%仍然显示出1986年切尔诺贝利核灾难造成的放射性污染，尽管没有超过法定上限。

Elevated concentrations of caesium-137 and caesium-134 isotopes bearing the characteristic signature of the Chernobyl blast were found especially in southern Germany, the federal office for consumer protection and food safety (BVL) said.

德国联邦消费者保护和食品安全办公室(BVL)表示，在德国南部发现了浓度较高的铯-137和铯-134同位素，这些同位素具有切尔诺贝利爆炸的特征。

However, none of the 74 samples tested exceeded the legal limit of 600 becquerels of radiation per kg.

然而，被检测的74个样本中，没有一个超过每公斤600贝克勒尔辐射的法定上限。

The Chernobyl reactor, located in what is now Ukraine, spewed tonnes of nuclear waste into the atmosphere, spreading radioactivity across swathes of the continent and causing a spike in cancers in the more immediate region.

位于现在乌克兰境内的切尔诺贝利核反应堆向大气中排放了数吨核废料，使放射性物质扩散到整个欧洲大陆，并导致邻近地区的癌症发病率激增。

The BVL said the radioactive material lingered in forests because their ecosystems recycled nutrients so efficiently, meaning that wild mushrooms will show contamination for much longer than other agricultural products.

BVL表示，放射性物质之所以留在森林中，是因为森林的生态系统能够有效地循环养分，这意味着野生蘑菇的污染时间比其他农产品长得多。

While the mushrooms tested for radioactive contamination, none contained levels above the legal limits.

虽然对这些蘑菇进行了放射性污染检测，但没有一种蘑菇的放射性水平超过了法定上限。

Concern at the long-term impact of nuclear disasters has fueled public opposition to nuclear power, and in Germany triggered a decision, shortly after the accident at Japan’s Fukushima plant in 2011, to abandon it altogether.

对核灾难长期影响的担忧加剧了公众对核能的反对，在2011年日本福岛核电站发生事故后不久，德国就决定完全放弃核能。
