NHK Easy News Translation exercise #1
Been reading the easy news. Corrections will be needed and appreciated. I try to be as literal as possible.
Does the company really think the nearby fisherman will approve of dumping of water into their fishing areas???
東京電力の福島第一原子力発電所では、高い濃度の汚染水（＝放射線を出物質で汚れた水）が建物の外の土の中に出ています。
At Tokyo Electrical Fukushima's Nuclear Power Station, a high concentration of contaminated water is going out into the soil outside of the building.
このため、地下水も汚れて、毎日約２００ｔが海に流れていると考がえられています。
They think that because of this the underground water is being dirtied and every day approximately 200 tons are flowing into the ocean.
東京電力は原発の近の岸に鉄の壁を作って、地下水が海に流れるのを止ようと考がえました。
The company will make an iron wall near the shore of the nuclear power plant and and consequently thinks that it will stop the flowing of underground water into the ocean.
そして、機械で地下水を外に出して、水の中の放射性物質（＝放射線を出す物質）を少なくすることにしています。
Also, they have decided to push out/expel the underground water to the outside via machines and to make the radioactivity materials in the water scarce.
しかし、放射性物質を少すくなくしたあとの地下水をどうするかが問題です。
However, what to do with the underground water after it has made the radioactive materials scarce is a problem.
東京電力は、放射性物質を少なくした水を海に流すことを計画しています。
The company is planning on draining the water that has made the radioactive materials scarce into the ocean.
これから、近くで漁業をしている人たちにこの計画に納得してもらおうと考がえています。
After this, the company thinks that the plan shall be approved by the people nearby who are working the fish industry.
東京電力は「放射性物質を少なくした水を海に流しても、汚染水がそのまま海に流れている今よりは、海への影響が少なくなります。 しかし、漁業をしている人たちが納得しない場合は、海に流しません」と言いっています。
The company is saying "Even if we drain the water that makes the radioactive material scarce, the effect/influence on the ocean will become smaller than the real contaminated water flowing into the ocean as it is now. However, in the case that the people who are working the fish industry do not approve, we will not drain into the ocean."
漁業をしている人たちが、東京電力の計画をどう考がえるか注目されます。
The people who are working the fish industry are paying attention to how/what they think about the plan
