访谈录 2011-03-29&03-31 日本灾后蓝图

（单词翻译）

Give us your most negative impression for the future of Japan and your most optimistic impression for the future of Japan.

-The most optimistic one is that the workers put water over the reactor¹ core. Electricity is turned on. It is stable. And then there is gonna take another ten years in order to repair the damage of these reactors². That’s the best case scenario³. The worst case scenario is that they have to evacuate⁴. The workers have to evacuate because radiation levels are too far too beyond comprehension. It means we are in free fall.  All three reactors have a meltdown. It means a catastrophe⁵ beyond comprehension more than Chernobyl.

-And affecting more than just the island of Japan.

-It could then go into the oceans where it could contaminate, well, sea life as well as of course, northern Japan. Parts of it could be a dead zone.  We are talking about mammoth⁶ amount of thyroid cancers especially in children. Food that has to be impounded and economy reduce to ruins in northern Japan. That is the worst case.

-This is the worst case. I mean does it make you want to just get a cab and never get out.

-Well that’s why people are leaving, that is why some of my relatives decided⁷ to leave rather than...

-This Indian Point, as far as I know, my house has no nuclear power in it. We don't like the dishwasher, none of that uses nuclear power. I don't want Indian Point. I'd live down the street; It’s like a cold second. I’m just down there, I don't want that anymore. How can we get them to take that away? I think earlier I said it was run by people of Arkansas. I think it is run by people in Louisiana. I am sorry, I don't know. But I don't want it. I didn't vote for it. I don’t want it. And you know I’m just get triple A batteries. I don't need it. What do we do to get it out of here?

-Well, a certain flash of the lights right here in this room come from Indian Point.

-We can do without them.

-And of course, you know there is a trade off. It means that we have to buy energy from Canada and other places, rates are gonna go up a little bit, you know.

-Rates go up anyway.

-And then the governor of New York State has even said out with Indian point. Even the governor…

-Is anything he can do about that legislatively⁸?

-Well we have to like make sure that the politicians are aware of it, put pressure on the politicians.

And in fact even one NRC official said that we had a chance to re-license⁹ that reactor, knowing today we probably would not license that reactor.

-Yeah, that’s a case of no-brainer. But I remember a few years ago. They had trouble with emergency alarms going off up there, and it was like, well, is that really radioactive steam leaking or is it just a battle alarm? We’re not sure. I mean we have so many, so many gains so much violence in the city. Why don't we send a bunch of these gains up there just to take the thing apart? You know and then look the other way.

-That’s the Letterman solution, right?

-It could be my solution.
