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.
台媒：从去年12月31日到今年1月1日，大陆军机“史无前例”迫近****** 【环球时报综合报道】解放军战机连日来频繁在台海周边空域活动，即使是跨年夜也没有停止维护国家领土主权。台媒称，从去年12月31日到今年1月1日一早，解放军军机“史无前例”迫近。 2日，大陆央视军事频道播出一段视频画面，称解放军空军某基地歼-20、歼-16等多型战机凌晨2时进行超视距空战训练。这引起了台湾媒体的高度关注。这几天，解放军战机持续在台海周边活动。据台湾联合新闻网2日报道，台“国防部”统计显示，2022年12月30日上午6时至12月31日上午6时，侦获解放军军机9架次、军舰3艘次，其中1架次BZK-007无人机、1架次运-8反潜机进入台湾“西南防空识别区”。2022年12月31日上午6时至2023年1月1日上午6时，侦获解放军军机24架次、军舰4艘次，其中越过所谓的“海峡中线”及其延伸线进入西南空域的军机有15架次。台“国防部”同时公布“中共解放军进入台海周边空域活动示意”显示，有歼-10战机、歼-16战机两批在台湾岛北部桃园、新竹外海空域穿越所谓的“海峡中线”。 台《联合报》2日称，台“国防部”以往公布图标规格比例显示，从未有解放军军机如此深入“海峡中线”东侧，疑迫近到桃竹外海24海里邻接区空域，另有一批歼-11战机在淡水河口外海空域穿越“中线”。此外，“海峡中线”南侧还有歼-10战机、BZK-005无人机、运-8反潜机与BZK-007无人机自“中线”南部延伸地带进入台西南空域。台湾北部临海三芝“天弓”导弹、“爱国者”导弹基地当天“红点”目标警讯大响，各自实施战备，台空军紧急调用在空战机实施拦截。 对于解放军如此深入，台军事学者揭仲称，解放军军机疑已穿越台空军在北部空域所划设的R9、R11其中一个禁航区。他说，台当局在海峡东侧划设4个训练用禁航区，是所谓“海峡中线”默契的重要支撑，如果解放军军机日后常态性穿越R9与R11两个离本岛距离最近的禁航区，恐将增加两岸军方擦枪走火的可能性。台空军前副司令张延廷称，解放军军机逐步深入“海峡中线”以东，在近台邻接区空域处进行训练。他说，台军北部包括台北、基隆、桃园、宜兰，有1000多万人口，但空防处于“有弹无机”，虽部署防空导弹，却没有战斗机可起降的机场；“幻影”战机从最接近“中枢”的新竹机场升空至少需要10分钟，面对7分钟就能到达新竹的解放军军机，恐来不及主动拦截。台军方学者舒孝煌称，解放军军机跨年经过的是台空防重要区域，也是接近台北圈的防卫要地。 2022年12月29日，署名“达米恩·西蒙斯”的独立防务分析师在推特上发文称，他制作了2022年内解放军空军在台空域总飞行数量与航迹图。从图中可见，密密麻麻的红色航迹图布满台西南空域、东部空域及所谓的“海峡中线”，其中以西南空域最多，部分航迹甚至延伸至东部空域。他提到，2022年8月解放军军机绕台占全年最大宗，超400架次。亲绿的《自由时报》2日称，台“国防部”公布去年解放军军机累计进入台空域268天，1733架次、27种机型。相比之下，2021年约960架次进入台“防空识别区”，2020年有380架次。2022年也是解放军首度派遣无人机绕台。台军事分析人士称，解放军利用绕台行动探查台湾防御系统，消耗逐渐老化的台空军。台“中央社”2日总结称，解放军近年一直秉持“毁三线”(“海峡中线”“领海线”和能源生命线)及“建三区”(封控区、禁飞禁航区、常态化战巡区)原则绕台。(张若) (环球时报) 亿达彩票地图 |
