距离美国明尼苏达州蒙蒂塞洛核电站泄露核废水已经过去了4个多月。据报道至少150万升含有高辐射性物质“氚”的核废水，流入地下。更为恐怖的是，这个“蒙蒂塞洛核电站”紧邻密西西比河的上游。可能有些老铁们不太了解，单纯从经济和生态的角度来说，作为北美最大河流，密西西比河对于美国的意义，就相当于长江黄河对中国的意义。
美国政府和美国媒体空前一致地将事件隐瞒了整整4个月，为什么突然选择在近日主动曝光呢? 我们先来看下最近这些报道背后的五大疑点：
The US government and the US media have consistently concealed the incident for an entire four months. Why did they suddenly choose to actively expose it recently? Let’s take a look at the doubts behind recent reports:
1.首先可疑的是，事件发生于去年11月份，换言之，明尼苏达州的“污染控制部门”以及核电站，将整个事情隐瞒了整整4个月。以美国的新闻和言论自由度，为什么迟迟没有公开？
The incident occurred in November last year. In other words, the Minnesota “Pollution Control Department” and the nuclear power plant hid it for four months. With the freedom of the press and expression in the United States, why has it been delayed in making it public?
2.事件已经过去4个月了，污染处理工作才进行了四分之一，为什么进展如此缓慢？泄露的点位为什么至今还没被找到？
It has been four months since the incident, and only a quarter of the pollution treatment work has been carried out. Why is the progress so slow? Why hasn’t the location of the leak been found so far?
3.卓越能源公司说泄漏的核污水里只有放射性氚，那里边真的只有氚吗？氚污染物真的没有问题吗？
Excellence Energy said that there was only radioactive tritium in the leaked nuclear sewage. Is there really only tritium there? Is there really no problem with tritium contamination?
4.卓越能源公司解释称，虽然泄漏的污染水含氚量远高于美国环境保护署的规定标准，但并没有影响到周边的地下水和饮用水，不对公众构成威胁，因此没有将此事公之于众。没有危险就不必公开？
Excellence Energy explained that although the amount of tritium in the contaminated water leaked was far higher than the standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, it did not affect the surrounding groundwater and drinking water and posed no threat to the public, so it did not disclose the matter to the public. Without danger, there’s no need to be public?
5.作为监管机构的政府本应关注公众利益，现在却被一家能源公司左右，独立的第三方调查员在哪里？美国政府是依靠企业自己的调查结果还是有独立的实验室参与？
As a regulatory body, the government should have focused on the public interest, but now it is dominated by an energy company. Where are independent third-party investigators? Does the US government rely on the results of its own surveys or have independent laboratories participate?
带着以上疑点和问题，不难看出，美国政府选择隐瞒四个月后再公布，根本就不是良心发现，而是为了转移公众注意力不得不故意释放出的一个王炸新闻焦点。
With the above doubts and questions, it is not difficult to see that the US government’s choice to withhold information for four months before releasing it is not a matter of conscience at all, but rather a news focus that has to be deliberately released in order to divert public attention.
这一点也是美国常用的招数。前不久美国火车脱轨导致高危化学物品泄露，就是用中国“间谍气球”来转移的。这次，美国想要转移注意力的导火索，会不会就是最近美国银行暴雷的连锁反应和恐慌的蔓延？
This is also a commonly used tactic in the United States. Not long ago, the derailment of American trains caused the leakage of high-risk chemicals, which was transferred using Chinese “spy balloons”. This time, will the trigger for the United States to divert attention be the chain reaction and the spread of panic caused by the recent thunderstorms in American banks?
事实上，从拜登上台以后，不论是社会通胀问题，疫情问题，战争问题，台海问题，又或是金融问题，唯一的应对策略，就是粉饰太平，努力忽悠美国人一切正常。之前隐瞒了整整4个月的核废水问题，如今变成了当前转移金融危机注意力的“救命稻草”，多少有些讽刺。
可以预料，随着事态的发展，更大的雷还在后面，我们拭目以待！
