[CAIRO] The Persian Gulf Arab states have raised concerns about the safety of an Iranian nuclear power station built in an易于地震coastal area.

The concerns about the Bushehr plant, which officially opened in 2011, were raised during a meeting of the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, last month (3-7 June).

The reactor lies on the north-east coast of the Persian Gulf. Any leak of radioactive material could therefore affect coastal regions of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman's Musandam Peninsula.

沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国已经在4月9日袭击了伊朗西南部的丛林省后,已经提出了这一问题。

“海湾国家有权要求国际原子能机构专家保证,因为一些伊朗植物组件非常古老。”

Within a week, national emergency officials of countries in the海湾合作委员会(海湾合作委员会)是巴林,科威特,阿曼,卡塔尔,沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国之间的政治和经济联盟,在沙特阿拉伯见面,讨论如果灌木丛植物遭到另一台地震损害,则在波斯湾散布辐射的风险。

But Mohammad Ahmadian, the deputy director of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, dismissed the concerns in a TV interview on the day of the meeting.

对伊朗的讲话Alalam News Network,他否认地震可能影响核反应堆或引起任何安全问题。

他说:“反应堆旨在承受8级地震,并在发生重大地球运动时自动关闭。”

But Gulf Cooperation Council assistant secretary general Abdel Aziz Aluwaisheg said in an article on the阿拉伯新闻网站说,尽管伊朗官员试图使人们担心地震会影响反应堆,但他们的话“远非令人放心”。

"Iran should be more forthcoming in allowing international inspection of Bushehr to reassure its own citizens and neighbours about the safety of the plant," he said.

埃及出生的地质学家法鲁克·埃尔·巴兹(Farouk El-Baz)是美国波士顿大学遥感中心主任,他说:“如果被忽视,这种情况可能会产生巨大的环境影响”。beplay足球体育的微博

He tellsscidev.netthat western伊朗容易发生地震。"The Gulf countries have every right to request assurances of adherence to safety regulations by IAEA experts, because some of the Iranian plant components are extremely old," he says.

但是埃及核和放射学监管机构的名誉教授穆罕默德·萨拉马(Mohamed Salama)表示,重要的是不要夸大地震对灌木丛植物的风险。

他将可能的伊朗地震与2011年3月在日本海岸袭击的级九级地震进行了比较,产生了一场海啸,淹没了该国的Fukushima nuclear plant

他说:“福岛安全地赶出了地震。”“真正的灾难来自海啸,席卷了海墙,击倒了备用发电机,使反应堆没有冷却系统。反应堆随后过热,爆炸和放射性物质逃脱了。”

萨拉马告诉scidev.net:“伊朗并不是那么天真,以至于在不考虑其易受地震威胁的情况下建造100亿美元的反应堆工厂”。

Yousry Abushady, a senior inspector at the IAEA, agrees. He explains that three factors are closely considered by any country when building a nuclear reactor: active geological fault lines, water availability and population density.

"There has not been a single case in history where a nuclear reactor has been directly affected by an earthquake," he tellsscidev.net。“核电站与地震很好地应对。”

德国公司于1975年开始建造灌木丛工厂,但在伊朗革命后的1979年停止了工作。1995年,伊朗和俄罗斯签署了一项完成该工厂的合同,尽管财务,技术和政治问题导致了进一步的延误。
