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.
【地评线】天府评论：新一轮千亿斤粮食产能提升行动让中国饭碗端得更牢****** 今年是贯彻党的二十大精神的开局之年，是加快建设农业强国的起步之年，保障粮食和重要农产品稳定安全供给具有特殊重要意义。我们将坚持把粮食生产作为“三农”工作的首要任务，以新一轮千亿斤粮食产能提升行动为抓手，全力保持粮食稳产增产好势头，依靠自己力量端牢中国饭碗。中央农办主任、农业农村部部长唐仁健接受人民日报采访时如是说。 粮食安全是“国之大者”。保障粮食和重要农产品稳定安全供给始终是建设农业强国的头等大事。我国之所以能够实现社会稳定、人心安定，一个很重要的原因就是我们手中有粮、心中不慌。2022年，我国全年粮食产量达到13730.6亿斤，连续8年超过1.3万亿斤，人均粮食占有量达到480公斤以上，小麦、稻谷两大口粮完全自给。但同时，我国粮食需求仍在不断增长。有预测显示，到2035年，我国年粮食需求或将达到8.5亿吨到9亿吨。这既凸显了实施新一轮千亿斤粮食产能提升行动的极端重要性和必要性，也凸显了依靠自己力量端牢中国饭碗的极端紧迫性和艰巨性。 重农抓粮，不断夯实粮食安全的根基，永远是端牢中国饭碗的最硬道理。农业强国是社会主义现代化强国的根基，满足人民美好生活需要、实现高质量发展、夯实国家安全基础，都离不开农业发展，离不开粮食安全。稳面积、稳产量、稳政策，是巩固我国粮食安全基础的三大法宝。中央农村工作会议提出了多个提升粮食产能的途径，如抓住耕地和种子两个要害，坚守18亿亩红线，建设高标准农田，健全种粮农民受益保障机制、增产和减损两端发力，构建多元化食物供给体系等，但万变不离其宗，必须用好稳面积、稳产量、稳政策三大法宝，在耕地、科技、农村经济等多方面发力，全面提升粮食产能，全力以赴端牢端稳中国饭碗。 坚持“藏粮于地，藏粮于技”不动摇，永远是端牢中国饭碗的最强保障。作为农业大国、人口大国，我国已经成功搭建了粮食生产政策体系和工作措施的“四梁八柱”，如：深入实施“藏粮于地、藏粮于技”战略，紧紧抓住种子和耕地两个要害，持续夯实粮食产能基础；推进服务社会化和生产机械化，促进节本增效、提质增效等等。这些行之有效的举措，是保障粮食产能稳步提升的“稳定器”和“压舱石”，是实施新一轮千亿斤粮食产能提升行动的有力“武器”。要一鼓作气、乘势而上，集中力量把“藏粮于地、藏粮于技”真正落实到位，持续增强粮食综合生产能力，最大限度挖掘粮食供给潜力，确保粮食和重要副食品安全。 全面落实党政同责，调动各方积极性，永远是端牢中国饭碗的最大动能。在不断发展农业科技之外，土地、农村建设等领域对粮食生产的助力同样重要。要从农村实际出发，以强化五级书记抓乡村振兴为抓手，聚焦农村基本具备现代生活条件、建设宜居宜业和美乡村，细化乡村建设行动、乡村治理和农村精神文明建设的具体安排，平稳有序推动农村疫情防控措施的调整落实，通过培育提升产业、着力稳定就业、推进创业创新，进一步增强脱贫地区和脱贫群众内生发展动力，调动一切资源，想尽一切办法，为新增千亿斤粮食产能聚心、聚力、聚责、聚智，因地制宜交出粮食产能提升新答卷，让中国饭碗端得更牢。（作者林伟系天府评论特约网评员） 凤凰彩票地图 |
