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.
台公务部门全面禁抖音,罗智强:民进党生怕抖音一响,自己网军白养****** 【环球时报特约记者 张若】大陆短视频平台抖音近来成为岛内舆论关注的焦点。 据台湾《中国时报》13日报道,台“数位发展部”日前称,抖音或TikTok(国际版)是危害台湾资通安全的产品,自2019年“各机关对危害资通安全产品限制使用原则”实施后,已限制公务部门资通设备及所属场域使用抖音。12日,民进党“立委”罗美玲质询时称,“数位发展部”禁止公务部门使用抖音,但实际上只有“行政院”及其所属部会适用此规定,并未规范到其他四大院(“立法院”“考试院”“监察院”和“司法院”),是否全面下令禁止使用?“行政院秘书长”李孟谚回复称,由于每个院有各自权责,“行政院”会持续沟通协调,盼其他四大院比照“行政院”做法办理。“行政院”发言人罗秉成还扬言,公务员若违反规定会加以惩处。他称,目前禁止范围包括公务手机,做法上单用禁止可能效果不够,所以要有一些“更好的方法”,比如在公共区域的网络范围内做一些技术上的处理,让公务员没办法接触。至于未来是否扩大到民间禁用,罗秉成声称,这部分因涉及层面较广,还需要更多讨论。 前台北市议员罗智强13日感叹,抖音全球日活跃用户数达10亿,已是年轻世代的社交新主流,连美国的民主党和拜登总统都在用抖音,民进党败选不知深入检讨,居然把抖音列为“头号战犯”,生怕“抖音一响,自己的网军白养”,索性把抖音打成“中共同路人”。他喊话,“下架抖音?我们先下架民进党”。罗智强怒轰民进党当局召唤“麦卡锡主义”的幽灵,以安全之名无限上纲,制造恐慌。民进党前“立委”郭正亮表示,“你们这群网络白痴,还活在五六年前,根本都不知道世界的网络已经发展到哪里去了”。 《联合报》评论称,要求禁用抖音的理由,有所谓“抖音一响,父母白养”,直指造成青少年沉迷。但禁抖音,青少年改玩网络游戏或频上交友平台,就不会沉迷?不从教育避免网络成瘾着手,只想掐断单一平台。也有人归结于所谓的“文化入侵”,但难道日韩视频就不是“文化入侵”?而蔡英文不也在看《延禧攻略》《甄嬛传》等宫斗剧?就连炮轰抖音的民进党“立委”林楚茵,也被爆有抖音账号,“至于‘散布虚假信息操作认知作战’,难道脸书、LINE就没有这个问题?”文章说,各种社交平台都有来自各方的视频或帖文,那是视觉商业化的网络结晶,混杂一些假信息并不奇怪,但其中更潜藏多少创意及商机,台当局扛着“国安大炮”来轰,莫非真想孤立台湾? TikTok于2018年初在台湾设立营运团队,在台湾ios免费应用下载排行榜曾冲到第四名。目前其在台湾月活跃用户已达300多万,台湾用户日平均使用时长达38分钟,一段视频互动的平均转发率为45%。TikTok视频月播放量在31亿次左右,且这个数字每月都在快速飙升。调查显示,台湾地区的抖音使用者75%为女性,25%为男性。另一数据显示,台湾北部TikTok用户占50%,而台南和台中则分别拥有30%和20%的使用率。不少网红进驻抖音,比如“台湾表妹”,粉丝已经达170万。有分析认为,岛内一些人对大陆社交媒体的抗拒,正是对台湾边缘化的焦虑,也体现了文化上的不自信。 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
