报告警告,多达39.7%的澳大利亚计划核电能力可能面临缺水问题。 Report warns up to 39.7% of planned nuclear power capacity in Australia could face water shortages.

由 " 反对核自由运动 " 委托编写的一份新报告警告说,联盟计划在澳大利亚内陆地区的7个核电站中,有5个由于水资源不足,在干旱期间可能被迫关闭或以降低的容量运作。 A new report commissioned by the Liberals Against Nuclear campaign warns that five of the Coalition's planned seven nuclear power stations in inland Australia could be forced to shut down or operate at reduced capacity during droughts due to insufficient water resources. 报告估计,为了保持所有反应堆的运行,每年需要201.5千兆瓦的额外水量,这可能导致水分配方面的冲突,并将发电能力限制在39.7%。 The report estimates that up to 201.5 gigalitres of extra water per year would be needed to keep all reactors running, which could lead to conflicts over water distribution and limit power generation capacity by 39.7%. 计划中的核电能力只有大约10%不会受到供水限制。 Only about 10% of the planned nuclear power capacity would face no water supply restrictions.
