日本以地质稳定为由,寻求批准研究米其岛核废料储存问题。 Japan seeks approval to study Minamitorishima Island for nuclear waste storage, citing geological stability.

日本政府已请求小岛村允许对边远、无人居住的太平洋小岛Minamitorishima岛进行初步调查, 以评估其是否适合为高水平核废料建立一个深地质存放库。 Japan’s government has requested permission from Ogasawara Village to conduct a preliminary survey on Minamitorishima Island, a remote, uninhabited Pacific island, to assess its suitability for a deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste. 调查是三步进程的第一阶段,将评价该岛的地质稳定性,官员们以岛屿位于太平洋板块上和没有主动断层作为优势。 The survey, the first phase of a three-step process, will evaluate the island’s geological stability, with officials citing its location on the Pacific Plate and absence of active faults as advantages. 在北海道和沙加县采取类似行动之后,日本正在寻求永久办法,以储存目前存放在临时设施的放射性废物。 The move follows similar efforts in Hokkaido and Saga Prefecture, as Japan seeks a permanent solution for storing radioactive waste, currently held in temporary facilities. 尚未作出任何最后决定,政府强调调查不具约束力。 No final decisions have been made, and the government emphasized the survey is non-binding.
