中國或在南海造20座移動式核電站
China ‘may build 20 floating nuclear power plants’ in South China Sea
中國也許會在南海造20個移動式核電站
BEIJING: China may build mobile nuclear power plants in the South China Sea, state media reported on Friday, days after an international tribunal dismissed Beijing’s vast claims in the strategically vital waters.
據報道，中國也許會在南海造移動式核電站。而數天前，一家國際仲裁法庭駁斥北京對該戰略重要海域的主張。
“Marine nuclear power platform construction will be used to support China’s effective control in the South China Sea,” the website of the state-run Global Times cited the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) as saying on a social media account.
環球時報引述中國國家核能集團的話，稱“海上核動力平臺，能用於支援中國在南海的有效控制。”
The Global Times cited the report as saying that “marine nuclear power platforms will be used” in the islands and reefs of the Spratly chain in the contested sea “to ensure freshwater”.
海洋核動力平臺將爲中國南沙島礁提供淡水保障
The original report was deleted from CNNC’s account on social media platform WeChat on Friday, and a staffer at the firm told AFP that it “needed to confirm” its accuracy.
原來的報道被從核能集團公司的微信賬號中刪除。公司的一位員工對法新社記者說，需要證實報道的準確性。
“In the past, the freshwater provision to troops stationed in the South China Sea could not be guaranteed, and could only be provided by boats delivering barrels of water,” the Global Times cited the report as saying.
過去，南沙島礁駐島官兵淡水供應得不到保障，只能通過小船往島嶼上送桶裝水。
“In the future, as the South China Sea electricity and power system is strengthened, China will speed up the commercial development of the South China Sea region,” it added.
未來，得益於南海電力和能源系統建設力度加強，中國將加快南海地區的商業開發。
