Sheila Wilson Spain What are they actually trying to say, I wonder? 13:18 Nov 20, 2014  http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/neutral... (In military or espionage contexts) used euphemistically to refer to killing or destruction: counter-intelligence programmes designed to neutralize individuals Sheila Wilson Spain Thanks Magali 09:14 Nov 20, 2014  It confirms my suspicion that the term asked is suspect. The sentence really does not hang together and is ambiguous at best. Sorry, that doesn't help translate it :). Magali CHENU France ASKER 08:53 Nov 20, 2014  Je vous communique la phrase: "According to xxx, a xxx Centre had been established at that site in xxx, the purpose of which had been "preparedness to combat and neutralization of casualties due to nuclear attacks and accidents". Merci pour votre aide :) Thierry Bourguet France 08:50 Nov 20, 2014  Il semble que cette expression (neutralization of casualties) ne figure que dans le cadre d'un rapport de l'AIEA concernant le programme nucléaire de l'Iran. Sheila Wilson Spain 08:43 Nov 20, 2014  The start of the sentence is crucial in this case, I'd say. We need that verb to get the real sense of the sentence. Jean-Claude Gouin Canada @ Magali 09:39 Nov 19, 2014  Ce que vous donnez est une partie de phrase. Quelle est la phrase complète? La phrase précédente et la phrase suivante nous seraient utiles ...
