【日本《原子能快报》1984年3月1日第8页报道】最近,在斯里兰卡的南部和东部海岸发现了相当数量的铀和钍。斯里兰卡原子能厅担心会影响当地居民的健康。从这些漂流的放射性物质看,也许是有人秘密地在印度洋投放了放射性废物,也可能是从投弃废物容器中泄漏出来的。目前,调查工作正在紧张的进行。 [Atomic Energy News, Japan, March 1, 1984, p. 8] Recently, significant amounts of uranium and plutonium have been found on the southern and eastern coasts of Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Agency feared that it would affect the health of local residents. From these drifting radioactive materials, it may be that some people secretly released radioactive waste in the Indian Ocean, or they may have leaked from the waste container. At present, the investigation work is being carried out intensively.
