1.HIGHWAY ALONG YANGTZE RIVER SCHEDULED TO OPEN THIS YEAR

上海沿江通道浦西段主线结构贯通预计今年年内通车

一条西起宝山富长路，东至牡丹江路的沿江通道浦西接线段于今天（7/20）全面贯通，比原计划提前了40天。今年年内有望通车。记者孙思奇为您带来更多详细报道。

The section of highway G1503 starts at Fuchang Road in Baoshan, goes eastbound【东行】 toward the bank of the Yangtze River and turns south toward Pudong. The main structure for the 7.8-kilometer Puxi section was completed this morning. Construction began in the first half of 2020. Work stopped on the highway in April and May during the lockdown, and now the extreme heat is posing another challenge.

G1503郊环线以宝山富长路为起点，东至东至牡丹江路的沿江通道，南可抵达浦东。全长7.8公里的浦西段高速主线于今天（7/20）上午完工。沿江通道浦西接线段从2020年上半年启动建设，今年4至5月受疫情影响，该工程一度停工，而现在的高温酷暑又给施工带来了挑战。

I took a bus at 7 to run some errands. After more than two hours, I got on this bus and it didn’t cost me any money. It’s beneficial.

今天我记得很清楚，七点乘坐公交来办点事情，事情办好已经过2个小时了，我再上车刷码，一分钱都没出，免费的。老百姓很受用。

The unlimited rides apply to 36 routes within Lingang. Once a passenger pays bus fare with a public transportation code or health code, he or she will be able to take unlimited rides that day on the 36 routes.

3.REPORT: AUKUS NUCLEAR-POWERED SUBMARINE DEAL CREATES SERIOUS RISK

《美英澳核潜艇合作的核扩散风险》研究报告：美英澳核潜艇合作将带来严重风险

The China Arms Control and Disarmament Association and China Institute of Nuclear Industry Strategy released a research report today saying the Australia, UK, US deal on nuclear-powered sub-marines risks violating【违反】 the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Lei Shuran has more.

中国军控与裁军协会、中核战略规划研究总院于今天联合发布研究报告，指出美英澳三国高调启动的核潜艇合作，相关举动违反《不扩散核武器条约》。记者雷舒然为您带来更多详细报道。

The report emphasized that the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine collaboration creates a bad precedent【先例】 for the transfer of weapons grade nuclear materials from nuclear armed states to non-nuclear armed states.In September 2021, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia issued a joint statement announcing they would create an enhanced trilateral【三边】 security partnership, known as AUKUS, to strengthen security and defense collaborations. Under the framework, Australia will build at least eight nuclear-powered submarines with the help of the United States and the United Kingdom. The White House said the US would help Australia identify pathways【路径】 for Australia to build, obtain or buy the nuclear submarine capability, but there would be no nuclear weapon provision.

该报告强调，美英澳核潜艇合作会为核武器国家首次大规模向无核武器国家转让成吨的武器级核材料创造不良先例。2021 年 9 月，美英澳发表联合声明，宣布将建立三边安全伙伴关系，以加强安全和军事合作。作为该框架下的首个合作项目，美英将协助澳大利亚建造至少8艘核潜艇。白宫表示，美国将帮助澳大利亚获得建造、拥有或购买核潜艇的途径，但不会直接提供核武器。

Zhao Xuelin, Engineer of China Institute of Nuclear Industry Strategy

赵学林中核战略规划研究总院工程师

Eight nuclear-powered submarines need at least 1.6 to 2 tons of weapons grade uranium. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s calculation standard, 25 kilograms of highly concentrated uranium can produce a nuclear weapon. So you can figure out that 1.6 to 2 tons of uranium can produce as many as 64 to 80 nuclear weapons.

澳大利亚未来8艘核潜艇总共将需要1.6到2吨的武器级高浓铀。而根据国际原子能机构重要量的概念，25千克武器级高浓铀就可以制造出1枚核武器。大家可以算一算，1.6到2吨可以制造出多达64到80枚核武器。

The report also stated that the collaboration risks violating the objectives of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

该报告声明，美英澳三国高调启动的核潜艇合作将违反《不扩散核武器条约》。

Zhang Yan, President of The China Arms Control and Disarmament Association

张炎中国军控与裁军协会会长

Such behavior absolutely belongs to nuclear proliferation【激增】 and seriously violates the aims and goals of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

这是赤裸裸的核扩散行为，严重违反《不扩散核武器条约》的宗旨和目标。

Zhang also noted that as the Tenth NPT Review Conference is about to be held soon, he asked the US, the UK and Australia to seriously respond to the concerns of the international community, and faithfully fulfill their nonproliferation obligations.

中国军控与裁军协会会长张炎还指出，在即将召开的《不扩散核武器条约》第十次审议大会上，美、英、澳应该认真回应国际社会关切，立即停止相关合作，切实履行防止核武器扩散义务，以维护国际核不扩散体系的完整性、权威性和有效性。
