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.
“再坚持一下”就是胜利****** 12月19日凌晨，卡塔尔世界杯完美收官，阿根廷队如愿以偿捧回大力神杯。回望28个日日夜夜，许多参赛球队以其出色表现赢得了球迷的尊重，克罗地亚队就是其中一支。 先后挑落比利时、日本、巴西、摩洛哥等强队，支撑克罗地亚队一路走来的，是坚不可摧的韧性。1/4决赛对阵巴西队，比赛打到加时赛时先失一球，克罗地亚队没有自乱阵脚，更没有自暴自弃，以一如既往的坚韧完成了逆转，追平了比分，并最终凭借点球大战将夺冠热门巴西队淘汰出局。 赛场如战场。当身处危局、险局、残局、僵局甚至败局时，我们靠什么实现逆风翻盘，争取最后的胜利？ 早在1938年，毛泽东同志就在《抗日游击战争的战略问题》一文中给出了答案：“被迫处于被动地位了的时候，这时的任务就是努力脱出这种被动……往往有这种情形，有利的情况和主动的恢复，产生于‘再坚持一下’的努力之中。” 纵观世界杯赛场，当一场比赛进入加时阶段，双方球员的体力消耗已近极限，此时已不单纯是技战术的对抗，更是意志力的较量。打仗亦是如此，战争的残酷尽人皆知。所谓狭路相逢勇者胜，就是当生与死的考验来临之际，心理与生理的抗争达到极限之时，看谁能咬紧牙关“再坚持一下”。无数事实证明，最终的胜利，往往属于坚持到最后的一方。 在我军的战争实践中，以少胜多、以弱胜强的战例不胜枚举。英勇顽强的战斗意志和战斗作风，是夺取战斗胜利的重要因素之一。“被动中始行，主动中胜出”的中国工农红军万里长征即是如此。金一南教授在《为什么是中国》一书中写道：“惊天地、泣鬼神的两万五千里长征，连‘战略转移’也是后来的说法，最初讲的是‘突围’，其实当时只是夹缝中求生存。” 夹缝中求生存是何等之艰难！长征路上，红军历经大小近600场战斗，一次次面临绝境，陷入至暗时刻，又一次次从危境中解脱，获得新胜利。将时间轴再拉长一点，强渡大渡河、飞夺泸定桥、血战孟良崮、鏖战松骨峰、坚守上甘岭……我军取得的每一场伟大胜利，无不得益于“再坚持一下”的强大韧性。 徐向前元帅曾说：“当你最严重最困难的时候，也是敌人最严重最困难的时候，常常是当你因困难在决心发生动摇的时候，而恰恰正是敌人对胜利感到绝望的时候，这种时机是最紧要的关头，这种时机决定于何方能坚持，何方能熬过这最后的五分钟，何方就能取得胜利。”在解放战争时期的晋中战役中，攻打运城的解放军部队进攻多次受阻，战斗形势险峻。危急关头，时任晋冀鲁豫军区第一副司令员的徐向前向全体官兵发出“坚持最后五分钟”的战斗命令。在战斗号令的鼓舞下，攻城官兵军威大振，攻山头、拔要塞，接连拿下运城、临汾等地。晋中战役得以成为我军以少胜多、以弱战强、以攻克守的经典战例。 其实，不论是“再坚持一下”，还是“坚持最后五分钟”，二者皆是强调“困境中保持韧性”的重要性。实现中华民族伟大复兴的道路并非一片坦途，我们要学会时刻与困境相伴，在困境中树立决战决胜的信心，时刻葆有战争年代英勇顽强的战斗作风，做到关键时刻冲得上去、危急关头豁得出来。只要韧性在、信心在，我们就能穿越荆棘，前进的脚步就不会停止。（汪娜） 彩票驿站地图 |
