1 | Ukraine: Comparing Fukushima to Chernobyl? | Okraina: Mampitaha an'i Fukushima sy i Chernobyl? |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Japan Earthquake 2011. The devastating earthquake and the resulting tsunami that hit Japan on Friday caused significant damage to Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, where the shut-down of the cooling system has triggered an unfortunate chain of events resulting in several blasts, a fire and temperature rises at the plant's nuclear reactors. | Ilay horohorontany niaro tsunami namely an'i Japana tamin'ny zoma 11 martsa lasa teo iny no niteraka fahasimbana goavana [ENG] ho an'ny foibe nokleary Fukushima-1, satria ny fijanonan'ny fomba fampangatsiahana dia niteraka trangan-javatra mampalahelo toy ny fipoahana matetika, afo, ary fiakaran'ny hafanana [ENG] teo amin'ny fitaovana mpamokatra herinaratra nokleary. |
3 | As events unfolded, the media increasingly presented the situation at Fukushima as the world's worst nuclear accident since the Soviet-era disaster of Chernobyl. | Arakaraky ny fivoaran'ny zava-misy, dia mampiseho [ENG] ny media fa i Fukushima no loza nokleary ratsy indrindra hatramin'ny fahapotehana nateraky Chernobyl [ENG]. |
4 | This news has hit home in Ukraine, where the Chernobyl nuclear plant is located and where memories of the terrible events of 25 years ago are still very much alive. | Nandona an'i Okraina avy hatrany ny vaovao satria tao no nisy ny toby nokleary Chernobyl ary mbola tsaroana mandraka androany ny zava-nitranga nahatsiravina 25 taona lasa izay. |

6 | Ukrainian bloggers and twitterers have closely followed and commented on the situation in Fukushima. | Mpampiasa LJ mipetraka any Kyiv fantatra amin'ny hoe nadiya55 nanoratra izao [RUS]: |
7 | Kyiv-based LJ user nadiya55 wrote this [ru]: | Tsara ny herinaratra, tena ilaina ary efa mahazatra. |
8 | Electricity is good, convenient and routine. Nuclear power is convenient and profitable. | Tena ilaina sady hahazoana tombony ny angovo nokleary. |
9 | But it is a dangerous toy in the hands of such an ignorant creature as a human being, which is unable to foresee and protect [itself from] force majeure. | Kanefa mampidi-doza izy ity tahaka ny olombelona ihany, tsy manana hery hahafantatra na hiaro tena amin'ny zavatra miseho tampoka. |
10 | Chernobyl, more chernobyls…??? | Chernobyl, mbola misy chernobyls ihany…??? |

12 | […] It is unclear what has actually happened [at Fukushima-1]… But it is understood. | […] Tsy dia mazava loatra ny zavatra misy ao Fukushima ankehitriny… Kanefa fantatra. |
13 | In the situation when Japan has just been devastated by an earthquake and a tsunami nobody would tell something [openly], because it would only cause panic. | Amin'ny zavatra nahazo an'i Japana izay sady niharan'ny horohorontany no nasian'ny tsunami dia tsy miresaka malalaka ny olona satria hiteraka tahotra izany. |
14 | Well, the people there are disciplined, so there would not be unnecessary [upset]. | Tsara taiza sy manara-dalàna ny olona, dia tsy ilaina izany manakorontana izany. |
15 | And the last reports are about the accident being similar to the one on the Three Mile Island in 1979… Which means that “a waste bomb blew up”, although not outwards, like in Chernobyl, but inwards… | Ny tatitra farany mikasika ny loza no nahafantarana fa nitovy tamin'ny zava-niseho tao amin'ny Nosy Three Mile tamin'ny 1979 ity loza ity… Izany hoe “baomba nipoaka” tsy nankany ivelany tahaka ny an'ny Chernobyl fa tao anatiny ihany… |
16 | Now it has been reported that the incident is currently rated at 4 on a 0 to 7 scale [International Nuclear Event Scale]. | Voalaza fa tafakatra dingana faha-4 amin'ny maripandrefesan'ny[INES] izay 0 hatramin'ny 7 iny loza iny. |
17 | By the way, [level] 5 - on the Three Mile Island, and 7… but let's not talk about the bad stuff [the Chernobyl accident was the only one classified as level 7]. | Ny an'ny Three Mile Island nahatratra 5, avy eo 7… kanefa tsy horesahantsika eto ny ratsy indrindra dia i Chernobyl izay nahatratra 7. |
18 | LJ user astarot-reload posted maps, pictures and links to news reports about Fukushima-1 and wrote this [uk]: | LJ fantatra amin'ny hoe astarot-reload nandefa sarintany sy sary ary rohy mankany amin'ny vaovao mikasika an'i Fukushima-1 ary nanoratra izao [UKR]: |
19 | […] So there is radiological contamination, according to the Japanese authorities. […] In the country of earthquakes there are 55 reactors… | […] Noho izany, misy ny fanapoizinana radiolojika araka ny nambaran'ny manam-pahefana Japoney… Any amin'ity firenena misy horohorontany ity dia misy fitaovana mpamokatra angovo 55… |
20 | But let's get back to the news: the news is [bad] - cooling systems on some reactors have failed, engineers are pumping sea water in… this means more serious radiation leaks are to be expected… […] Earthquake, tsunami, radiation contamination… Every time it seems things could not get any worse. […] | Fa aleo hiverina amin'ny vaovao isika: [ratsy] ny vaovao - simba ny fomba fampangatsiahana any amin'ny fitaovana mpamokatra angovo sasany, manala ny ranomasina tafiditra ao anatiny ny injeniera ankehitriny… midika izany fa mety hisy ny fivoahan'ny taratra nokleary aty ivelany… […] Horohorontany- Tsunami- fanapoizinana avy amin'ny taratra nokleary… Isaky ny mieritreritra izany dia ohatry ny tsy misy zavatra ratsy tahaka izany. […] |
21 | Many Twitter users have noted that the hashtag #Chernobyl was trending and commented about the speculations on similarities between the incidents: | Mpiserasera twitter maro no nanamarika fa zava-baovao i Chernobyl tamin'izany ary naneho hevitra momba ny fitoviana misy teo amin'ireo loza roa. |

28 | Hello, Japanese “chernobyl”. | Arahaba ry “Chernobyl” japoney. |
29 | In the USSR at first [they] were also telling [us] that nothing serious would come from a [nuclear power plant] blast. | Tamin'ny voalohany koa tany URSS dia nolazaina fa tsy misy atahorana ny fipoahana nokleary. |

31 | @dvrnd It is entirely possible that for the nuclear energy the Japanese events would cause a distress far more serious than Chernobyl. In terms of public opinion. | @dvrnd raha araka ny zavamisy dia mety ho ratsiratsy kokoa noho i Chernobyl ny voka-dratsy naterak'ity fipoahana nokleary tany Japana ity. raha ny hevitry ny olona no jerena. |

33 | @kino4ka I am following the situation in Japan. | @kino4ka narahako ny toe-draharaha tany Japana. |
34 | We know what a great disaster it is (Chernobyl). | Fantatsika tsara hoe tahaka ny ahoana ny fahasimbana aterany (Chernobyl). |
35 | Thank God, the reactor is intact. | Isaorana Andriamanitra fa tsy voakitika ny fitaovana mpamokatra angovo. |
36 | It is only [200] km from Tokyo. | 20 Km miala an'i Tokyo fotsiny no misy azy. |
37 | A journalist and blogger Kyrylo Lukerenko posted this [uk]: | Ilay mpanao gazety sady mpitoraka bilaogy Kyrylo Lukerenko nanoratra ity [UKR]: |
38 | During the 25 years since Chernobyl we have gotten used to the exclusivity of our misfortune. | Nandritra ny 25 taona taorian'ny nipoahan'ny Chernobyl izao dia efa zatra miaina amin'ny alahelo isika. |
39 | In the eyes of some, the tragedy we went through even justified the long years of economic hardship and the bleak everyday life of many of our fellow countrymen. | Ho an'ny sasany, dia hita amin'ny fiainana andavanandron'ny mpiray tanindrazana amintsika ny hamafin'ny fahavoazana nandritra izany taona maro izany. |
40 | Now we no longer have the right to consider our grief unique, such that still deserves sympathy of the whole world. | Ankehitriny dia tsy manana zo hieritreritra intsony isika hoe isika irery no nihara-pahavoazana, tahaka ny miandry fitserana avy amin'izao tontolo izao foana. |
41 | Moreover, we have simply grown accustomed to Chernobyl, and the events in Japan again remind us all of its dangers: in particular, of the fact that 25 years after the [Chernobyl] disaster there is still no reliable cover that would safeguard against radiation leaks. […] | Efa zatra ny Chernobyl isika, ary ny zavamisy any Japana dia mamerina amintsika indray ny loza aterak'izany : ny tena miavaka dia 25 taona aty aorian'ny fipoahan'ny Chernobyl dia mbola tsy hita foana izay fomba hanapenana ny fiparitahan'ny taratra nokleary navoakany. […] |
42 | What I'm trying to say is this - how things would develop remains unclear, but if the construction of the [new sarcophagus around Chernobyl] is as important as they are trying to convince us, we should treat it with even bigger enthusiasm than our preparations for Euro-2012 [UEFA European Football Championship]. | Ny zavatra tiako hambara dia izao - mbola manjavozavo hatreto ny mety ho fivoarana, kanefa raha raisitsika ho zava-dehibe ny fanamboarana [sarony vaovao manodidina an'ny Chernobyl] handresena lahatra antsika, dia tokony horaisintsika amin'ny hafanam-po tokoa izany manoatra noho ny fikarakarantsika ny Euro 2012 [UEFA Fiadiana izay ho tompon-dakan'i Eoropa amin'ny baolina kitra]. |
