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.
江苏睢宁“胜景图”：筑巢引凤迎新春 能人返乡谋振兴****** (新春走基层)江苏睢宁“胜景图”：筑巢引凤迎新春 能人返乡谋振兴 中新网徐州1月18日电 题：江苏睢宁“胜景图”：筑巢引凤迎新春 能人返乡谋振兴 作者 朱志庚 顾士刚 1月17日，在江苏省睢宁县庆安镇林庄村，通透的蓝天，暖暖的冬阳，一栋栋新建高标准厂房拔地而起，一个个大红灯笼高高挂在枝头，一群群村民挥舞着铁锹平整园区场地，“奏响”了一曲曲乡村振兴的迎春“新乐章”。 “大家再加把劲干呀，今天还有几位回乡过年的能人来看看我们的新厂房，准备把企业搬到林庄村来。我们筑好巢，一定能引来金凤凰的……”正在干活的林庄村党总支书记赵飞大声给一起劳动的村民加油鼓劲。2022年，在老村部和废弃学校的旧址上，林庄村投资200多万元新建了3000平方米的高标准厂房。 林庄村在外创业成功人士较多，亿元以上产业者有3人，千万元以上产业者有30多人，百万元以上产业者有100多人。林庄村利用这一优势资源，激发在外创业成功人士为家乡投资的热情，开辟出村集体经济发展新路径。每年春节前，村里都会召开“林庄村商务座谈”。返乡的能人和村民们共话家乡变化，谋划家乡发展，绘画家乡风景，勾勒林庄村宜居宜业和美的“胜景图”。 宋之高投资5000多万元在林庄村成立睢宁福昌泰电子科技有限公司，拥有3个厂房共计3500平方米，年产值2000多万元，带动60多人就业。投资5000万元的徐州犇驰生态牧业有限公司坐落在林庄村龙姚路西侧，年出栏肉牛1200头，年产值2000多万元。 广东省佛山市顺德区科贝隆塑料机械有限公司董事长高聪华是林庄村人。他现在和庆安镇政府、林庄村委会已经达成投资协议。说到给家乡到底捐了多少钱，他笑说：“具体不记得了，光是2020年疫情防控期间就捐款20万元了。”  村民们平整新建厂房门前地面。 顾士刚 摄林庄村经过村民代表大会、党员代表大会、村两委班子成员多次开会讨论后，报请庆安镇党委政府同意，决定打造林庄村能人返乡创业工业园。因村部和原来废弃学校连在一起，所以林庄村就规划把村部搬迁出去。这样集中资源在村部和废弃学校的旧址上建两个高标准厂房，与宋之高的三个厂房连成片、构成线，倾力“筑好巢”，只为“引凤来”。 2021年，高聪华捐资12万元为村里购置了一条口罩生产线，然而由于没有厂房，导致机器一直存放在村部。现在虽然有了高标准厂房，也成功注册了负责生产运营的实体公司，但是村民对集体投资几万元购买原料顾虑重重。于是，赵飞在2023年新年打算自己先拿3万元购买生产原料。“如果公司盈利了，算村集体的；如果亏损了，算自己的。”他坚信在如今这么好的市场环境下，集体经济发展会成功的。 “我们要把招商兴业作为全面乡村振兴的首要任务来抓，敢为、敢闯、敢干、敢首创。”庆安镇镇长周扬说，庆安镇聚焦塑料制品、汽车电子、绿色建材三大主导产业实施产业链招商，发挥区位、资源等优势开展“以商招商”。目前，庆安镇累计签约重大项目33个。项目当年落地转化率位居全县第一。(完)
