【社会人文】核电站附近儿童癌症高发
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German study has found that young children living near nuclear power plants have a significantly higher risk of developing leukemia and other forms of cancer, a German newspaper reported on Saturday.
"Our study confirmed that in Germany a connection has been observed between the distance of a domicile to the nearest nuclear power plant .... and the risk of developing cancer, such as leukemia, before the fifth birthday," Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper quoted the report as saying.
The newspaper said the study was done by the University of Mainz for Germany's Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BFS). A copy of the report was not immediately available.
The researchers found that 37 children within a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius of nuclear power plants had developed leukemia between 1980 and 2003, while the statistical average during this time period was 17, the paper said.
The newspaper cited an unnamed radiation protection expert familiar with the study who said its conclusions understated the problem. He said the data showed there was an increased cancer risk for children living within 50 kilometers of a reactor.
German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a statement that he would examine the study. He said the BFS should also evaluate its findings.
Germany plans to prematurely shut down all of its nuclear power plants by the early 2020s.

核电站附近儿童癌症高发
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German study has found that young children living near nuclear power plants have a significantly higher risk of developing leukemia and other forms of cancer, a German newspaper reported on Saturday.
柏林（路透社）—一家德国杂志周六报道，该国的一项研究发现住在核电站附近的儿童患白血病和其他癌症的风险显著增加。
"Our study confirmed that in Germany a connection has been observed between the distance of a domicile to the nearest nuclear power plant .... and the risk of developing cancer, such as leukemia, before the fifth birthday," Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper quoted the report as saying.
“我们的研究证明在德国15岁之前的儿童中，居住地离核电站的距离与患白血病等癌症的风险是相关的。” Suddeutsche Zeitung报引用了这个报导。
The newspaper said the study was done by the University of Mainz for Germany's Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BFS). A copy of the report was not immediately available.
该报称此项研究是Mainz大学为德国国家辐射保护部(BFS)做的。目前还得不到该报告的全文。
The researchers found that 37 children within a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius of nuclear power plants had developed leukemia between 1980 and 2003, while the statistical average during this time period was 17, the paper said.
研究者发现在1980年到2003年间，在距离核电站5公里（3英里）范围内，有37名儿童患了白血病。而在此期间，在同样大小的区域内，患白血病的儿童数平均为17人。
The newspaper cited an unnamed radiation protection expert familiar with the study who said its conclusions understated the problem. He said the data showed there was an increased cancer risk for children living within 50 kilometers of a reactor.
该报引用了一位熟悉这项研究的不知名的辐射保护专家的话。他说这个问题的推论有些保守。资料显示住在距离反应堆50公里内的儿童环癌的风险都有升高。
German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a statement that he would examine the study. He said the BFS should also evaluate its findings.
德国环境部的Sigmar Gabriel说他会检查这个研究，(BFS)也应该评价一下这项发现。

德国计划在21世纪20年代早期就提前关掉所有的核电站。 核电站附近儿童癌症高发
