Relax, people. The helicopter you might see hovering alarmingly low over San Francisco this week is nothing to worry about — it’s only testing radiation levels.
放轻松点屁民,本周你会看到令人惊恐的直升机在圣弗朗西斯科低空盘旋,那不过是在测量放射水平
For five days starting today, research choppers owned by the federal government will conduct daytime flyovers in The City, Oakland and Pacifica, according to local police. At times, the twin-engine Bell 412 will hover just 300 feet above the ground.
据警方消息,从今天开始5天内,联邦政府科研直升机将在我市、奥克兰以及帕西菲卡作昼间飞行。到时,双发贝尔412直升机将在距地面300英尺盘旋。
The goal of the flyovers, federal authorities said, is to improve the government’s ability to measure aerial radiation. During flights, the high-tech chopper will measure “naturally occurring background radiation.”
联邦政府官方称,直升机飞行的目的,是为了促进政府测量空中放射性水平的能力。在飞行过程中,高科技直升机将测量地面自然产生的辐射。
The operation is part of a joint research project involving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
这次行动是一项联合研究计划的一部分,参与者包括美国国土安全部核子检查办公室和国家核安全管理部门。
The chopper intends to survey some 69 square miles, authorities said, flying in a grid pattern. The flights will reportedly be limited to daytime hours.
官方称,直升机按坐标飞行,计划测量面积约69平方英里。飞行被批露限于昼间固定时间。 |
