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.
随环卫工老魏上早班****** 【新春走基层】 光明日报记者 任爽 光明日报见习记者 李层 新年伊始，凌晨3点半，大街小巷一片寂静，吉林省舒兰市环境卫生管理中心车库里早早地忙碌起来了。 “出车！”检查完车况后，环卫工人魏振江和搭档登上大型垃圾清运车，驶向街道深处。清运车一路走走停停，每遇一处垃圾桶，就是一连串自动化动作：把桶挂车、倾倒和压缩垃圾、把桶归位。 “现在可比过去好干得多！早先，开小四轮儿，得靠人装车，一天下来累得不轻。现在有专门车辆代替人工，车辆一走一过就能完成，省时又省力！”不到3个小时，魏振江和搭档就“扫”完20多条主要街路，完成了当天的第一趟作业。 “走，吃饭去！”车停进育才路垃圾中转站，魏振江招呼搭档向附近的环卫早餐点走去。“一个鸡蛋，两个花卷，一碗小米粥、一碟小菜！”发餐师傅把热气腾腾的早餐递给陆续进门的环卫工人。 魏振江领到早餐，就近坐下，听工友们聊天。“以前，早饭不是对付口干粮，就是趁休息着急忙慌往家跑，这回可好了。”“可不，这口早饭真是暖心又暖胃！”“退休前又赶上一波好政策，知足呀。”魏振江吸溜一口小米粥，点头赞同。 “天儿冷，辛苦师傅们把早餐整热乎点儿！”舒兰市环境卫生管理中心主任陶利民像往常一样，在早餐点关注工人们的用餐情况，“这些年，环卫工人的工作环境和条件都有了很大改善。环保设施齐全，机械自动化程度越来越高，各类劳保产品四季供应充足。舒兰始终把环卫工人作为关心关怀的重点对象。” 越来越好的不仅是工作设备和工作待遇，还有舒兰环卫工人切实体会到的市民不断提升的文明自觉。 吃完早餐，魏振江开始了第二趟清运作业。车窗外，树上的彩灯、商家橱窗上的花带和生肖兔贴画将干净的街路点缀出节日氛围。 “早些年，路上总有果皮纸屑，我们环卫工人天天都得弯着腰拾掇。这几年，舒兰的绿化美化亮化越来越好，爱护环境的人也越来越多，还经常有志愿者来帮忙，路上一天比一天干净。”魏振江一脸骄傲，“如今，环卫工人可受重视了。你看，路边的商家都加入了‘爱心驿站’，我们进去歇脚，还给我们倒水喝，大伙儿干劲儿十足！” 在舒兰，尊重、爱护、关心环卫工人的风尚背后是群众对美好生活的向往。近年来，小城舒兰持续加强市容市貌整治、擦亮志愿服务品牌、宣扬先进生活理念，全方位提升城市文明程度，成功创建了省级文明城市，正向创建全国文明城市的目标进发。 《光明日报》（ 2023年01月06日 01版） （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
