莫斯科市苏维埃已发布命令,要求建在该市的所有核设施必须在1999年底前全部关闭。这就意味着苏联最有名望的研究机构之一——库尔恰托夫原子能研究所不得不迁出莫斯科。去年秋天,一个负责调查库尔恰托夫研究所的三座反应堆的安全性的委员会宣布,这三座反应堆中最大的一个应当迁出莫斯科。此反应堆功率为40兆瓦,用来对未来核电站所用的材料进行试验。根据这一决定,另外两座功率各为8兆瓦的反应堆尚可留在莫斯科(这两座反应堆产生用于科研的中子和用于医疗的放射性同位素)。但是,新的命令看来使这三座反应 The Moscow city of Soviets has issued an order demanding that all nuclear facilities built in the city must be completely closed by the end of 1999. This means that the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, one of the most prestigious research institutions in the Soviet Union, had to move out of Moscow. Last fall, a commission responsible for investigating the safety of the three reactors at the Kurchatov Institute announced that the largest of the three reactors should be relocated to Moscow. The reactor has a power of 40 MW and is used to test materials used in future nuclear power plants. According to this decision, two other reactors with a capacity of 8 MW each will remain in Moscow (the two reactors produce neutrons for research and radioisotopes for medical use). However, the new order seems to make these three reactions
