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.
河北邢台:微宣讲“声”入民心****** 光明日报记者 耿建扩 陈元秋 光明日报通讯员 闫丽静 “乡村振兴,我们能做得更好!”近日,在河北省邢台市信都区前南峪村活动室里,党员群众一有空就一起学习党的二十大精神。村党委书记郭天林把二十大报告看了很多遍,从中找出群众关注的内容,结合村里实际,掰开揉碎讲给大家听。 “新时代的伟大成就是党和人民一道拼出来、干出来、奋斗出来的!”郭天林对此深有感触。前南峪位于太行深山区,曾经是有名的贫困村。经过几十年不懈努力,荒山变成“花果山”,农户吃上“旅游饭”,生活越来越甜。郭天林时常告诉大家,要保持奋勇争先、毫不松懈的劲头。经过多次学习讨论,大家的干劲儿越来越足,村子未来发展思路也越来越清晰。 前南峪村的这一幕,是邢台市“党的二十大精神万名支书微宣讲”活动的一个缩影。为推动党的二十大精神在基层落地生根,邢台市组织全市万余名基层党支部书记,通过“小现场、小切口、微宣讲”的方式,站在百姓视角,运用群众语言,坚持平实、朴实、切实的宣传基调,全面准确迅速地把党的二十大精神送到基层。 为了确保宣讲效果,邢台市统一编发了宣讲提纲,各县市区、市直各单位通过学习培训、集体备课等线上线下相结合的形式,对基层党组织书记进行培训,着力增强宣讲的说服力、亲和力和针对性、有效性,把党的二十大精神讲清楚、讲明白,让群众听得懂、能领会、可落实。 “基层党组织书记就在群众身边,更容易用群众身边的事讲清大道理,更擅长用群众易接受的方式,随时随地开展一场微宣讲。”邢台市委宣传部相关负责人表示。 12月15日上午,在邢台市信都区富兴社区祥和城小区的小公园里,社区党支部书记邓为娜和几个居民一边晒太阳,一边学习党的二十大精神。 “二十大报告指出‘提高全社会文明程度’‘实施公民道德建设工程,弘扬中华传统美德,加强家庭家教家风建设’。具体到我们社区,要以创建文明社区活动为载体,以提高居民素质和小区文明程度为主要目标,通过广泛开展‘文明单元’‘文明家庭’评选,孕育文明新风。”邓为娜说。 “邓书记,文明家庭评选可以细化标准,比如学习型家庭、节约型家庭,每个家庭充满正气,社区文明程度就提高了。”一位居民建议。 “评选出来的文明家庭,要大张旗鼓地表扬,扩大影响,营造学习典型、争当典型的浓厚氛围。”另一位居民说。 ………… 在富兴社区,这样互动式的微宣讲举行了3场。邓为娜介绍,宣讲中专门设置了问题收集环节,她把居民关注的内容记录下来,作为下一次宣讲的重点,打破以往台上讲、台下听的单一模式,提高宣讲内容的精准性。 “这样的宣讲就在咱家门口,参加的都是街坊邻居,讲的都是接地气的实在话,我们听得心里热腾腾的,对党的二十大精神也有了更深刻的理解。”居民杨丽表示。 一些基层党组织书记还把宣讲与“我为群众办实事”实践活动相结合,多渠道收集群众微心愿,及时为群众办实事解难事。 在宁晋县上城嘉苑社区的小广场,社区党支部副书记张璐与社区群众畅谈二十大精神学习心得。现场放置了一个微心愿收集箱。 “更换小区路灯、院里垃圾倾倒及时些、机动车不要乱停……每个愿望虽然看起来不大,但却承载着居民实实在在的期盼。”张璐说,这次宣讲共收到30多条微心愿。社区将积极梳理,形成“微心愿”清单,建立“微心愿”台账,按照“居民点单、社区派单、党员接单、办结评价”的形式进行闭环服务,让群众有更多获得感。 截至目前,邢台市共开展支书微宣讲活动5000余场,受众15万余人。 《光明日报》( 2022年12月21日 04版) 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
