More than 160 nuclear and civil engineers over the age of 60 are planning to set up a Skilled Veterans Corps to assist restoring control over crucial cooling functions at the tsunami-hit nuclear power plant.
160多名超過60歲的核和土木工程師正在計劃成立一個熟練元老團，以協助恢復控制受海嘯襲擊核電廠的關鍵冷卻功能。
Decades of professional engineering expertise combined with a desire to protect younger workers from radiation exposure have united the elderly workers in a desire to help fix the plant.
數十年職業工程的專業知識結合願望去保護年輕工人避免暴露於輻射，已團結老年工人以圖幫助修理工廠。
The idea was masterminded by Yasuteru Yamada, 72, a retired engineer formerly working in plant construction, who was alarmed by reports of young subcontractors, some unskilled in this field, undertaking the high-risk work.
想法是由72歲的退休工程師Yasuteru山田策劃，以前在工廠建設方面工作，他被年輕的判頭報導感到震驚，一些在這領域非技術的工人在承擔高風險的工作。
"We shouldn't leave the work only to young engineers," he said. "Young people, especially those who have children in future, should not be exposed to radiation." More than 1,000 people, including young subcontractors, are currently working in sensitive conditions at Fukushima in an on-going bid to restore control at the damaged six-reactor plant.
“我們不應留下工作衹給年輕工程師，“他說。 “年輕人，特別是那些將來有孩子的，不應該暴露在輻射之下。“ 1,000餘包括年輕二判等人，目前正在福島敏感的條件下工作，在持續爭取恢復控制受損的六座核反應堆的工廠。
Under the new proposal, an independent body of skilled engineers over the age of 60 would be authorised by the government to take over ground work restoring cooling systems alongside Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which operates the plant.
