AtomicPowersStationsoutatSeaMayBeBetterthanInlandOnes
[A]After the events of March 11th2011,whenanearthquake andtsunami led toa meltdown ofthree nuclear
reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant in Japan, you might be forgiven for concluding that atomic power
and seawater don’t mix. Many engineers, though, do not agree. They would like to see more seawater involved,
notless. In fact, they have plans to site nuclearpower plants in the ocean rather floating on the surface or moored
beneathit.
[B]Atfirst, this sounds a mad idea.Itis not.Land-based powerstations are bespoke(定制的)structures, built
by the techniques of civil engineering, in which each is slightly different and teams of specialists come and go
according to the phase of the project. Marine stations, by contrast, could be mass-produced in factories using, if
notthetechniquesoftheassemblyline,thenatleastthoseoftheshipyard,withcrewsconstantlyemployed.
[C]Thatwouldmakepowerstations atseacheaperthanthoseonlandJacopoBuongiorno,anuclearengineer
at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, reckons that, when all is done and dusted, electricity from a marine
station would cost at least a third less than that from a terrestrial equivalent. It would also make them safer. A
reactor anchored on the seabed would never lack emergency cooling, the problem that caused the Fukushima
meltdown. Nor would to be protected against the risk of terrorists flying an aircraft into it. It would be
tsunami-proof, too. Though tsunamis become great and destructive waves when they arrive in shallow be
tsunami-proof, too. Though tsunamis become great and destructive waves when they arrive in shallow water, in
the open ocean they are mere ripples. Indeed, were it deep enough(100 metres or so), such a submarine reactor
wouldnotevenbeaffectedbypassingstorms.
[D]All these reasons, observes Jacques Chenais, an engineer at France’sAtomic-Energy commission, CEA,
makeunderwaternuclearpowerstationsanideaworthinvestigating.Dr.ChenaisisheadofsmallreactorsatCEA,
andhashadexperiencewith onewell-establishedtype ofunderwaterreactor—thatpowerssubmarines.Heandhis
team are now assisting Naval Group, a French military contractor, to design reactors that will stay put instead of
moving aroundon a boat.The plan is to encase(把……围住)a reactor andan electricity-generating steam turbine
inasteelcylinderthelengthofafootballpitchandwithaweightofaround12,000tonnes.
[E]The whole system, dubbed Flexblue, would be anchored to the seabed between five and 15km from the
coast—far enough for safety in case of an emergency, but near enough to be serviced easily. The electricity
generated(up to 250 megawatts, enough for 1m people)would be transmitted ashore by an undersea cable. For
refueling and maintenance unmanageable from a submarine, the cylinder would be floated to the surface with air
injected into its ballast tanks. And, when a station came to the end of its useful life, it could be towed to a
specialistfacilitytobedismantledsafely,ratherthanrequiringyetanotherlotofcivilengineerstodemolishit.
第 4 页[F]NavalGrouphasnot,asyet,attractedanycustomersforitsdesigns.Butaslightlylessambitiousapproach
to marine reactors—anchoring them on the surface rather than below it—is about to come to fruition(实现)in
Russia. The first such, Akademik Lomonosov, is under construction at the Baltic Shipyard, in St. Petersburg.
According to Andrey Bukhovtsev of Rosatom, the agency that runs Russia’s civil nuclear program, it is 96%
complete. It will be launched later this year, towed to Murmansk, and thence transported to Pevek, a port in
Russia’sFarEast,whereitwillbegingeneratingpowerin2019.
[G]Akademik Lomonosov consists of two 35MW reactors mounted on a barge. The reactors are modified
versions of those used to power Taymyr-class icebreakers. As such, they are designed to be able to take quite a
battering,sothestorms oftheArctic Oceanshouldnottroublethem.Toaddtotheirsafety,thebargebearingthem
willbemoored,about200metrsfromshore,behindastorm-and-tsunami-resistantbreakwater.
[H]Altogether,Akademik Lomonosov will cost $ 480m to build and install—far less than would have to be
spent constructing an equivalent power station on land in such a remote and hostile environment. And, on the
presumptionthatthewholethingwillwork,plansforasecond,similarplantarebeinglaid.
[I] Nor is Russia alone in planning floating reactors. China has similar ambitions. Specifically, the Chinese
government intends, during the 2020s, to build up to 20 floating nuclear plants, with reactors as powerful as
200MW, to supply artificial islands it is building as part of its plan to enforce the country’s claim to much of the
SouthChinaSea.
[J]The firms involved in this project intend to tsunami-proof some of their reactors in the same way as the
French, by stationing them in water too deep for massive tsunami waves to form. Because they are at the surface,
though, that will not save them from storms—and locating them far from shore means the Russian approach of
building sheltering breakwaters will not work either.That matters. Typhoons in the South China Sea can whip up
waveswithanamplitudeenceeding20metres.
[K]To withstand such storms, the barges will have anchors that are attached to swiveling “mooring turrets”
undertheirbows.Thesewillcauseabargetobehavelikeaweathervane,alwayspointingintothewind.Sincethat
isthedirectionwavescomefrom,itwillremainbow-ontothosewaves,givingitthebestchanceofridingoutany
stormthat naturecares tothrow atit.Thebarges’bows will also bebuilthigh, inorder to cutthroughwaves.This
way, claims Mark Tipping of Lloyd’s Register, a British firm that is advising on the plants’design, they will be
abletosurvivea“10,000-yearstorm.”
[L]The South China Sea is also a busy area for shipping, so any floating power stations there will need to be
able to withstand a direct hit by a heavy-laden cargo vessel travelling at a speed of, say, 20knots—whether that
collision be accidental or the result of hostile action. One way to do this, says Chen Haibo, a naval architect
working on the problem at Lloyd’s Register’s Beijing office, is to fit the barges with crumple zones packed with
materialssuchascorrugatedsteelandwood.
[M]Not everyone is delighted with the ideaof marine nuclear power.RashidAlimov,headof energy projects
at Greenpeace Russia, an environmental charity, argues that offshore plants could be boarded by pirates or
terrorists, be struck by an iceberg or might evade safety rules that are hard to enforce at sea. On July 21st
Greenpeace scored a victory when Rosatom said thatAkademik Lomonosov’s nuclear fuel would be loaded in an
unpopulatedareaawayfromSt.Petersburg.
[N]That, though, is apinprick(小范围).Thefutureof marinenuclear powerstations ismore likely todepend
on the future of nuclear power itself than on the actions of pressure groups such as Greenpeace. If, as many who
worry about the climate-changing potential of fossil-fuel power stations think, uranium has an important part to
playin generating electricity over coming decades, thenmany newnuclearplants willbe needed.Andifthat does

Amazon said it will cut prices on a range of popular goods as it completes its acquisition of Whole Foods,
sendingsharesofrivalgrocerstumbling(跌倒，暴跌)onfearsthatbrutalmarketsharebattleswillintensify.
Amazon’s $ 13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods, which will be completed on Monday, has been hanging
over a brick-and-mortar(有实体的)retail sector unsure of how to respond to the world’s biggest online retailer.
Shares of Kroger, the biggest United States supermarket operator, closed down 8 percent, while Wal-Mart, the
biggestUSfoodseller,closeddown2percent.
Amazonsaiditwill startsellingWhole Foodsbrandproducts onits website,amove thatsentdownsharesof
packaged food sellers, including Kellogg. Amazon also said members of its $99-per-year Prime shopping club
would eventually be rolled into Whole Foods’ customer rewards program and be eligible for special offers and
discounts.“TherewasneveranydoubtthatAmazonwouldlowerprices,andevenofferfurtherdiscountsin-store

Starting on Monday, Amazon will cut prices on organic grocery staples such as bananas, avocados, brown
eggs farmed salmon and tilapia, baby kale and lettuce, some apples, butter, and other products. Lowering prices
couldstem defections byprice-sensitiveWhole Foods shoppers andhelpthe grocer shedits “Whole Paycheck”
reputation for high prices that are generally 15 to 25 percent above rivals. It could also bring in new consumers

The planned price cuts would have been a tough sell to Whole Foods’investors, who had grown used to fat
profitsfrom theupscalechain,butaremore inline withAmazon’sbroaderstrategy ofsacrificing short-term profit
for long-term market dominance. Amazon’s willingness to take lower profit margins ups the ante(赌注)in the

Questions51to55arebasedonthefollowingpassage.
The 17 trillion US gallons of rain, roughly 26m Olympic swimming pools, dumped on Texas by Hurricane
Harvey has set a new high for a tropical system in the US, but it is unlikely to last long as rising man-made
emissionspushglobalclimatedeeperintounchartedterritory.
Images of flooded streets in Texas are mirrored by scenes of inundated(洪泛的)communities in India and
Bangladesh,therecentmudslidesinSierraLeoneandlastmonth’sdeadlyoverflow ofaYangtze tributary(支流)in
China.Inpart,thesecalamitiesareseasonal.Inpart,theimpactdependsonlocalfactors.Butscientists tellussuch
extremes are likely to become more common and more devastating as a result of rising global temperatures and
increasinglyintenserainfall.
Our planet is in an era of unwelcome records. For each of the past three years, temperatures have hit peaks
not seen since the birth of meteorology(气象学),and probably not for more than 110,000 years. The amount of
carbon dioxide in the air is at its highest level in 4m years. This does not cause storms like Harvey—there have
always been storms and hurricanes at this time of year along the Gulf of Mexico—but it makes them wetter and
morepowerful.
“For large countries like the United States, we can expect further rainfall records—and not just for
hurricanes,” said Friederike Otto, deputy director of the Environmental Change Institute at the University of
Oxford. This is part of a wider trend. “For the globe, we’ll see heat and extreme rainfall records fall for the
foreseeablefuture,”shepredicted.Shecautionedthatthesituationislikelytobedifferentfromcountrytocountry.
Many factors are involved, but human impact on the climate has added to the tendency for more severe droughts
andfiercerstorms.
A key focus now is whether climate change is connected to the “stalling” of storms. In the US, hurricanes
usually move inland and diminish in power as they get further from the sea. Harvey, however, was stationary for
severaldays—whichisthemainfactorinitsrainfallrecord.
Scientists have said this may be the single biggest question posed by Harvey. Researchers have recently
identified a slowdown of atmospheric summer circulation in the mid-latitudes as a result of strong warming in the
Arctic.Butsuchstudiesofpressurepatternsneedmorepowerfulanalyticaltools,includingsupercomputers.
第 7 页In the US, however, such research has become highly politicized. President Donald Trump has announced
thattheUSwillpulloutoftheParis climate treatyandcutfundingforrelated research.“Itshouldn’tbea political
matter to try to understand how much more frequent events like Harvey will become in the future,” said Tim
Palmer,aprofessorattheUniversityofOxford. “Itappallsmehowbasicsciencehasbecomeinvolvedinpolitics
