The nuclear safety and security situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine remains extremely fragile and dangerous, said the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday.

国际原子能机构(IAEA)总干事周二表示,乌克兰扎波罗热核电站的核安全和安保形势仍然非常脆弱和危险。

"Military activities continue in the region and may well increase very considerably in the near future," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told a UN Security Council briefing.

国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗西在联合国理事会的一次简报会上说:“该地区的军事活动仍在继续,而且在不久的将来很可能会大大增加。”

The plant has been operating on significantly reduced staff, which despite being in temporary shut-down is not sustainable, he said.

他说,该工厂一直在大幅裁员,尽管暂时停工,但不是长久之计。

There have been seven occasions when the site lost all off-site power and had to rely on emergency diesel generators, the last line of defence against a nuclear accident, to provide essential cooling of the reactor and spent fuel. The last one, the seventh, occurred just one week ago, Grossi said.

该核电站曾七次失去所有场外电力,不得不依靠应急柴油发电机为反应堆和乏燃料提供必要的冷却,这是防止核事故的最后一道防线。格罗西说,最后一次,也就是第七次,发生在一周前。

"We are fortunate that a nuclear accident has not yet happened... we are rolling a dice and if this continues then one day our luck will run out," he warned.

“我们很幸运,核事故还没有发生。我们是在掷骰子,如果这种情况继续下去,总有一天我们的运气会耗尽。”

"So we must all do everything in our power to minimize the chance that it does," said Grossi.

格罗西说:“所以我们必须竭尽所能,把发生这种情况的可能性降到最低。”

The IAEA chief laid out new "concrete principles" which he said are essential to avoid the danger of a catastrophic incident at the Zaporizhzhia plant.

国际原子能机构总干事提出了新的“具体原则”,他说,这些原则对避免扎波罗热核电站发生灾难性事件的危险至关重要。

There should be no attack of any kind from or against the plant, in particular targeting the reactors, spent fuel storage, other critical infrastructure or personnel, he said.

他说,不应该对核电站进行任何形式的攻击,尤其是针对反应堆、乏燃料储存、其他关键基础设施或人员的攻击。

Zaporizhzhia should not be used as storage or a base for heavy weapons or military personnel that could be used for an attack from the plant, and off-site power to the plant should not be put at risk, he added.

他补充说,核电站不应被用作重型武器或军事人员的储存或基地,这些武器或军事人员可能被用来从核电站发动袭击,核电站的场外电力不应受到威胁。

All structures, systems and components essential to the safe and secure operation of the Zaporizhzhia plant should be protected from attacks or acts of sabotage, Grossi said.

格罗西说,所有对核电站安全运行至关重要的结构、系统和部件都应该受到保护,免受攻击或破坏行为。
