世界最大的射电望远镜将使9000多居民搬家
Southwest China's Guizhou Province is expected to evacuate more than 9,000 residents for the protection of the world's largest ever radio telescope before its completion in September, local authorities said Tuesday.
中国西南部贵州省地方政府周二表示，为了保证今年九月份世界上最大的射电望远镜的竣工，该省将疏散9000多名居民。
The evacuation is facilitated by a proposal delivered last year by several members of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), according to Li Yuecheng, secretary-general of the CPPCC Guizhou Provincial Committee.
The proposal asked the government to relocate residents within 5 kilometers of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, to create a sound electromagnetic wave environment, said Li.
The Guizhou provincial government is expected to resettle 9,110 residents in Pingtang County and Luodian County in four settlements by the end of September, he said.
Each of the involved residents will get 12,000 yuan (1,838 U.S. dollars)subsidy from the provincial reservoir and eco-migration bureau, and each involved ethnic minority household with housing difficulties will get 10,000 yuan subsidy from the provincial ethnic and religious committee.
