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.
浙江文旅观察：西湖游船为何成杭州打卡新地标？****** 中新网杭州1月18日电 题：浙江文旅观察：西湖游船为何成杭州打卡新地标？ 记者 王题题 最近，浙江杭州的西湖游船吸引了众多游客拍照打卡。 一只只憨态可掬的福兔，提着小灯笼坐在船头……30艘新春特别款兔子灯“福气船”亮相西湖。 活动期间，每到傍晚时分，这些“福气船”就亮起星星点点的灯火。仔细一看，船头上有萌萌的小兔子装置，手提红色福字灯笼，船身两侧还印满了福字。 据悉，“福气船”经过精心设计，船头巨型兔子灯配合着福字、剪纸等元素，让节日氛围倍增。 其中，兔子灯是由中国纸雕艺术家温秋雯设计制作，采用传统的花灯工艺扎制，同时做了一些微创新，透过兔子身躯可看见其内部构造。而福字灯笼上的图案则来源于宋朝古画中的民间女士服装花色——莲花，寓意着吉祥福寿。 装扮一新的“福气船”一亮相西湖，就吸引了众多游客驻足欣赏，并拍照打卡。“挺好的，过年的氛围来了！”杭州市民胡女士说。  游客拍照打卡兔子灯“福气船” 王刚 摄“只有中国年才有十二生肖和福字，不管是船上的新年兔还是福字灯笼，都是我们最熟悉的元素，但是当它出现在西湖游船上，感觉还是非常新鲜。”有游客对西湖游船的这一特别变身表达了喜爱之情。 一个个喜庆圆润的福字，提前送来欢乐年味，瞬间将过年的仪式感拉满，也引发了不少网友喊话：今年的集五福活动快点来，都快过年了，集福换福才是春节标配！ 据体验过“福气船”的乘客透露，船上真的有定制福可以扫，还成功领到了彩蛋卡，虽然还不知道有什么用，但是感觉很惊喜。此外，船上还有定制的暖手宝赠送，让大家泛舟湖上也能暖意融融，和亲朋好友一起享受团聚的温馨时刻。 也有乘客点赞说，“西湖游船也太浪漫了吧，浓浓的年味，满满的过年仪式感呀！”  西湖中秋的月亮船 王刚 摄记者了解到，因为此次兔子灯“福气船”亮相西湖，西湖游船的热度大涨。据马蜂窝近期数据显示，“西湖游船”成了杭州打卡“新地标”，热度大涨135%。 当然，西湖游船的浪漫远不止于此。比如去年中秋“霸屏”大家朋友圈的那33艘月亮船，连续三晚“点亮”西湖，“重现”三潭印月“33个月亮”的传说经典。 活动期间，西湖上，游客们坐着33艘月亮船巡岛夜游、泛舟赏月。行至途中，还有精彩的节日主题表演轮番上演，丝竹雅乐，缥缈而来，将过节氛围直接拉满。 在记者看来，无论是西湖的兔子灯“福气船”，还是西湖的中秋“月亮船”，其可取之处在于借助“兔年”“福”“月亮”等古今共通的情感意向，让现代表达充分走进古代场景，让古人的风雅和诗意，充分融入到现代人的生活方式里，再加上新技术的适时“登场”，古今交融的文旅创意，对于传承传统文化、增加审美意趣、优化旅游体验，无疑是一次成功的尝试。(完)
