“9·11”事件发生后,纽约的码头、桥梁上空、华盛顿的国会山和白宫上空盘旋的直升机比往日明显增多,它们看上去和普通直升机没有什么两样,但里面乘坐的全是来自美国各核武实验室的顶尖科学家,他们的任务是用肉眼看不见的光束扫描地面,侦察恐怖分子的核弹。这些直升机和科学家便是美国对付核恐怖袭击的第一道防线——外界很少知道的美国能源部的“撒手铜”之一:核应急支援小队,简称NEST。
After the “September 11” incident, helicopters circled over New York’s docks, over bridges, Washington’s Capitol Hill and the White House increased significantly compared to the past. They looked no different from regular helicopters, but all rides were from the United States. Nuclear scientists’ top scientists, whose mission is to scan the ground with a light beam that is invisible to the naked eye, to detect terrorists’ nuclear bombs. These helicopters and scientists are the first line of defense for the United States to deal with nuclear terrorist attacks - one of the “Enthusiasm” of the U.S. Department of Energy that is rarely known to the outside world: the Nuclear Emergency Support Team, or NEST for short.
