中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
两会前奏｜海南：压实责任、筑牢防线，全力营造风清气正换届环境****** 海南省七届人大一次会议、省政协八届一次会议将在海口开幕。这是新一届人大代表、政协委员首次参会履职。更为公众关注的是，省两会期间，将选举出新一届省人大政府政协领导班子。 “省委高度重视省人大政府政协换届正风肃纪工作，坚持把严肃换届纪律和会风会纪监督作为贯彻落实党的二十大精神的重要内容和具体实践，以‘零容忍’的态度正风肃纪，全力营造风清气正的换届环境。”省人大政府政协领导班子换届纪律监督工作组（以下简称换届纪律监督工作组）相关负责人介绍，去年9月，省纪委监委便会同省委组织部围绕换届工作筹备和省两会召开前、正式会议等3个阶段，早谋划、早部署，明确了20项主要任务措施，逐项有序落实。 去年10月，《海南省人大、政府、政协领导班子换届正风肃纪工作方案》《关于严肃换届纪律确保换届风清气正的通知》正式印发，压紧压实各级党委（党组）主体责任，进一步严明纪律规矩，引导党员领导干部筑牢思想防线。10月24日，省纪委监委牵头成立换届纪律监督工作组，确保责任到人到岗，形成坚强合力。 在新一届省人大代表选举及政协委员提名推荐过程中，换届纪律监督工作组对拟作为七届省人大代表、八届省政协委员、全国人大代表、全国政协委员和省人大政府政协换届提名的人选，严格执行“凡提四必”和廉政意见“双签字”、代表委员资格联审等制度，严把政治关、品行关、能力关、作风关、廉洁关，加快对相关问题线索的处置、研判，防止“带病提名”。 据悉，自去年9月以来，省纪委监委累计回复党风廉政意见14批629人次，提出暂缓或不宜提名建议27人次。 选举出新一届省人大政府政协领导班子是今年省两会的重要任务。省纪委监委于近日制定省两会纪律监督工作方案，成立综合协调、监督检查、信访举报、问题线索核查等4个工作组，安排80多名干部，重点针对两会期间换届纪律和会风会纪开展监督，并加强与省人大机关、省政协机关、省委组织部等单位的紧密联系和协调联动，确保大会期间纪律监督工作有条不紊推进。 “省两会开幕前，我们会给所有代表、委员及相关工作人员发送严肃换届纪律提醒短信。各代表团（小组）第一次召开会议时，该代表团（小组）党员负责人会重点强调换届纪律。代表、委员需签订《严守换届纪律承诺书》。同时，我们还将组织参会人员观看教育警示片。会议期间，在每个代表团（小组）设置纪律监督员，全程参与代表团（小组）会议，发现苗头性、倾向性问题第一时间汇报处置。”换届纪律监督工作组相关负责人说，省两会期间，如发现涉及违反换届纪律和会风会纪的问题线索，将坚持“零容忍”，做到发现一起、查处一起、通报一起，形成震慑。 自去年10月以来，换届纪律监督工作组指派专人24小时值守“12380”“12388”举报热线，做到全天候受理。省两会期间该举报热线也将继续由专人值守，确保群众问题反映渠道全时畅通。 （海南日报海口1月9日讯） 金福彩票地图 |
