ここ最近、BBC上では東北沖地震や原発関連の記事がトップページを堂々と飾る頻度は減ってきましたね。
ということで、本日の記事は3.11。
英語で書くと、"the 11 March quake and tsunami"
個人的に3.11という呼称は好きではありません。
9.11そのままパクッタだけだし、悲劇が悲劇だけに9.11の呼び名をそのまま真似ただけの呼び方がなんか嫌な印象を受ける...
正式名称がきちんとあるのにね。

Fukushima City to give children radiation dosimeters
Japan's Fukushima city is to give radiation dosimeters to 34,000 children to measure their exposure from the tsunami-hit nuclear power plant.
(a summary)
Radiation dosimeters will be provided to 34,000 children aged between 4 and 15 to measure radiation exposure for three months. The devises will be distributed to children from September, and will be read monthly to assess cumulative radiation exposure.
On the other hand, Japan's government will help Tokyo Electric Power Company pay a compensation to victims of the nuclear crisis under the approved draft low.
This is a time-consuming process that has frustrated affected victims.

「要約」

一方国会では、TEPCOによる一千億単位の賠償金の支払いを援助する仮法案が可決されたとのこと。この可決は、被災者を苛立たせている国の取り組みの第一歩である。
