阿尔及利亚国防部表示，周日，阿尔及利亚启动第二次行动，清除撒哈拉沙漠前法国核试验场的放射性废物，并指责巴黎隐瞒清理所需信息。
Algeria launched a second operation Sunday to remove radioactive waste from a former French nuclear test site in the Sahara Desert, its Defense Ministry said, accusing Paris of withholding information needed for the cleanup.
该行动在南部塔曼拉塞特省因埃克尔地区的“贝里尔E2”试验隧道场地进行。
The operation is taking place at the "Beryl E2" test tunnel site in the In Ekker area of the southern province of Tamanrasset.
国防部的一份声明称，阿尔及利亚团队在国防部监督下，与负责修复前法国核试验场的国家机构协调开展工作。
Algerian teams are carrying out the work under Defense Ministry supervision in coordination with the national agency responsible for rehabilitating former French nuclear test sites, according to a ministry statement.
清理工作包括识别放射性区域、收集核废物，并将其储存在专门指定的混凝土容器中。国防部表示，该工作将遵循国家和国际安全标准。
The cleanup involves identifying radioactive areas, collecting nuclear waste and storing it in specially designated concrete containers. The ministry said the work would follow national and international safety standards.
该部指责法国逃避责任，拒绝提供显示核废物埋藏地点的记录和地图。
It accused France of evading its responsibilities and refusing to provide records and maps showing where nuclear waste was buried.
国防部表示，残留污染继续阻碍因埃克尔以及西南部阿德拉尔省雷甘内的发展。
The ministry said the remaining contamination continued to hinder development in In Ekker and Reggane, in the southwestern province of Adrar.
据阿尔及利亚通讯社报道，阿尔及利亚于2月14日在因埃克尔地区的陶里尔坦阿费拉开始了第一次部分清理行动。
Algeria began its first partial cleanup operation on Feb. 14 at Taourirt Tan Affella in the In Ekker area, according to the Algerian Press Service.
法国于1960年2月13日在撒哈拉沙漠雷甘内附近进行了第一次核试验，当时阿尔及利亚处于法国殖民统治之下。该试验代号为“杰尔布瓦兹勒”，即蓝色跳鼠。
France conducted its first nuclear test near Reggane in the Sahara Desert on Feb. 13, 1960 while Algeria was under French colonial rule. The test was code-named Gerboise Bleue, or Blue Jerboa.
法国在1960年至1966年间在阿尔及利亚撒哈拉地区进行了17次核试验，该计划在阿尔及利亚于1962年独立后又持续了四年。
France carried out 17 nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara between 1960 and 1966, continuing the program for four years after Algeria gained independence in 1962.
阿尔及利亚长期寻求获取核试验和废物埋藏地点的记录和地图，以识别受污染区域并解决其后果。法国殖民统治的遗产仍然是两国之间争议的根源。
Algeria has long sought access to records and maps of the tests and waste burial sites to identify contaminated areas and address their consequences. The legacy of French colonial rule remains a source of disputes between the two countries.
