梅里瓦在新南威尔士的供水超过了国家辐射标准,促使人们转向低放射性地下水。 Merriwa's water supply in NSW exceeds national radiation standards, prompting a switch to lower-radioactivity groundwater bores.
澳大利亚新州梅里瓦的供水水平高于国家标准, 促使上亨特郡议会将该镇的供水转换为具有最低放射性的两座地下水钻井. Merriwa water supply in NSW shows radiation levels above national standards, prompting the Upper Hunter Shire Council to switch the town's supply to two groundwater bores with the lowest radioactivity. 检测显示,最大可能剂量的辐射剂量是澳大利亚饮用水准则的两倍。 Testing reveals a maximum possible radiation dose twice the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. 据认为,辐射来自地下岩质中自然产生的来源。 The radiation is believed to come from naturally occurring sources in the underground rock material. ANSTO正在进行详细的放射性核素试验,大约需要10周。 ANSTO is conducting detailed radionuclide testing, which will take about 10 weeks. 该理事会正在与新南威尔士州卫生部、气候变化、能源、环境和水部合作解决这一问题,并确保梅里瓦饮用水供应的持续安全。 The council is working with NSW Health, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water to address the issue and ensure the ongoing safety of the Merriwa drinking water supply.
