美國和中國爲輻射探測系統揭幕

The United States and China have unveiled a radiation detection system at a Shanghai seaport as part of a global effort to prevent the illegal transport of weaponized nuclear system will provide comprehensive screening of cargo at the Yangshan deepwater port - one of the world's move is part of a U.S.-led initiative to equip 100 of the world's biggest seaports with devices to scan about 50 percent of global shipping traffic by 2015.

At a ceremony to inaugurate the system, the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration administrator Thomas D'Agostino praised the commitment of the Chinese government to "combating nuclear terrorism." U.S. and Chinese officials have not always agreed on nuclear arms proliferation issues. While the two sides have have found some common ground in dealing with North Korea's nuclear activities, China is opposed to unilateral sanctions against Iran, which the U.S. says are necessary to halt the country's nuclear program.美國和中國在上海的一個海港一同爲一座輻射探測系統揭幕。這是一個全球努力的一部分，目標是防止武器級核材料的非法運輸。該系統將對洋山深水港的貨物提供全面檢查，那裏是世界上最繁忙的集裝箱港口之一。此舉是由美國主導的倡議的一部分。這個倡議要讓世界最大的100個海港配備掃描設備，到2015年掃描約 50%的全球航運交通。

在這一系統的揭牌儀式上，美國國家核安全管理局局長托馬斯.達戈斯蒂諾稱讚“中國政府在“打擊核恐怖主義方面的努力”。美國和中國官員並不總在覈武器擴散問題上立場一致。雖然雙方已經在處理朝鮮核問題上找到一些共同點，但中國反對針對伊朗採取單方面制裁，而美國表示此舉對於阻止伊朗的核計劃是必要的。
