But the Navy alerted the Japanese government because the submarine had been docked in Japan. 海军官方说在水中的放射性燃料外泄总量实际上非常少量，但这艘潜舰仍停泊在日本所以 海军还是对日本政府提出警讯。 The problem was discovered last month when a build-up of leaking water popped a covered valve and poured onto a sailor's leg while the submarine was in dry dock. 这个问题被发现在上个月，当这艘潜舰在乾坞做维修时一个累积了透水的盖阀爆裂并泼到 一位水兵的腿上。 An investigation found a valve was slowly dripping water from the sub's nuclear power plant. The water had not been in direct contact with the nuclear reactor, Navy officials said. 美海军官方表示一项调查发现这艘潜舰的核子动力系统上某一个阀门正缓慢地滴下含有外 泄燃料的水。这些水并没有直接接触到核反应装置。 Officials with knowledge of the incident could not quantify the amount of radiation leaked but insisted it was "negligible" and an "extremely low level." The total amount leaked while the sub was in port in Guam, Japan and Hawaii was less than a half of a microcurie (0.0000005 curies), or less than what is found in a 50-pound bag of lawn and garden fertilizer, the officials said. 这次透漏消息来源的官员并无法估测此次外泄的辐射量，但强调这是"可忽略的"和"非常( 极)低的危险性"。这次在港口的这艘潜舰在关岛、日本与夏威夷所造成的外泄总额低於一microcurie(0.0000005 curies)的一半不到 ，大约相当於一袋50磅的草坪用/花园肥料所发出的天然辐射值。 The sailor who was doused, a Houston crew member, tested negative for radiation from the water, according to Navy officials. 根据海军官方说法，那位外泄燃料水被浸到脚的休斯顿号船员之一的水兵所做的检查结果 为阴性反应。 Since March, the Houston had crisscrossed the western Pacific, spending a week in Japan and several weeks in both Guam and Hawaii, Navy officials said. 海军官方表示从今年三月开始休斯顿号已经交叉航行经西太平洋，在日本花费一个礼拜的 时间和几周的时间在关岛和夏威夷。 The Navy on Friday notified the Japanese government of the leak, the officials said, and told them it was possible the ship had been leaking while in port in Sasebo, Japan, in March. 官方表示海军在周五已告知日本政府关於此次外泄，并告诉他们这艘潜舰有可能在三月於 佐世保港停泊时就已经出现外泄情况。 While Japan has agreed to allow U.S. nuclear-powered ships in Japanese ports, the decision was a not popular in Japan. 日本日前同意美国海军核子动力船舰能在日本港口停泊，这项决定在日本国内并不受到欢 迎。 The Houston incident comes at a time when the Navy is trying to smooth over a problem with a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. 此次休斯顿号事件在美国海军正在试图纾解核子动力航空母舰的问题时接踵而来。 The USS George Washington was due to replace the aging, conventionally powered USS Kitty Hawk this summer as the United States' sole carrier based in Japan. 美国海军乔治‧华盛顿号航空母舰(USS George Washington)取代了传统动力航舰小鹰号 而照惯例在今年夏天成为唯一已日本为母港的航舰 While en route to Japan this May, a massive fire broke out on the George Washington, causing $70 million in damage. The fire was blamed on crew members smoking near improperly stored flammable materials. 今年五月乔治‧华盛顿号航舰在航行往日本途中发生一场大火，造成近7千万美元的损失 。这场大火肇因於航舰上的某些水兵在靠近易燃物质附近吸烟所导致。 There was no damage or threat to the nuclear reactor, but the ship was diverted to San Diego, California, for repairs. It now is expected to arrive in Japan at the end of September. 目前核子反应炉并没有损坏的现象或徵兆，但本艘潜舰已转向至加州圣地牙哥做修理。目 前可期望能在九月底抵达日本。 The Navy this week fired the captain and his deputy, saying an investigation into the fire led to a lack of confidence in the leadership of both men. 海军在这周已经开除这艘船舰的舰长及副长，并表示一项关於这场火灾的调查显示(海军) 对於两人领导能力的缺乏信心。 Just two weeks ago, thousands of Japanese protested the pending arrival of the George Washington. 就在两周前，数以千计的日本居民抗议乔治‧华盛顿号航舰的到来。 http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/08/01/navy.sub.leak/index.html -------------------------------------------------------------- 这篇是CNN的新闻 中文部分是不才所翻 要是有翻译错误请多多包含 <(__ __)> --
