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.
听！台湾各界期盼两岸交流“春暖花开”****** 新华社台北2月1日电(记者赵博、黄扬)“我想去北京吃烤鸭、去东北看雪，还想在台北请大陆小伙伴吃麻油鸡、看海……”新春伊始，一位岛内友人兴致勃勃地向记者说起今年的愿望。 这位友人的期盼，反映了岛内多数民众的心声。连日来，台湾各界人士和舆论纷纷发声，呼吁早日恢复两岸人员往来正常化、两岸各领域交流合作常态化。 “疫情趋缓，两岸交流的外在大环境较先前更好。”台湾政治大学东亚研究所特聘教授王信贤接受台湾《中国时报》采访时表示，期待民进党当局对两岸间的各式交流能乐观看待。 台湾大学政治系教授左正东认为，民间交流及两岸之间的相互认识、累积彼此善意，非常重要。两岸交流不只是人员往来，而是为两岸对话创造条件，更是两岸和平稳定所需要的社会环境。 “请给台海和平一个机会、给台湾未来一条生路。”中国国民党前主席洪秀柱在社交媒体个人账号上说，疫情寒冬已逐渐走远，两岸僵局也该冰消雪融，希望民进党当局不要再不择手段阻碍两岸交流。 此间舆论也一针见血指出，民进党当局如不在政策思维上改弦更张，很难在两岸交流上有所突破。 《联合报》刊发“重磅快评”指出，过去三年，民进党有意借疫情割裂两岸人民之间多年筑起的感情，刻意制造鄙夷、憎恶甚至是歧视大陆的情绪。快评指出，如何真正回到疫情前，甚至回到2008年至2016年时期那一个风平浪静的台海，每个台湾人都该深自思考！ 民间之所盼，能否成为施政之所向？据记者观察，进入新年，与两岸相关的新闻备受岛内关注，折射出民心向背。 国台办日前宣布，经有关主管部门审核，对金门酒厂等符合要求的63家台湾企业予以注册或更新注册信息。发言人马晓光答问表示，对部分台湾食品企业注册信息不完整、不规范的问题，我们愿意继续予以协助解决，为台湾食品输入大陆提供便利。 对此，台湾各家主流媒体均进行了较为详细的报道。据“联合新闻网”报道，台立法机构国民党团总召曾铭宗认为，这有助于两岸经贸文化交流往来。他呼吁两岸强化沟通交流，“有交流沟通才能建立互信，让两岸关系朝正向良性发展”。 台湾工业总会呼吁，当局应重视大陆的经济地位，进而力求经济稳定、社会安定、两岸和平发展。台湾商业总会理事长赖正镒则表示，期待两岸短期内可增加直航航点，提振岛内消费市场。 正在台湾休假的旺旺集团北京首席代表林天良直言，多数台商都反映目前两岸直航航点太少，希望能恢复到疫情前的数量，方便台商来往两岸，也希望尽早重启两岸旅游，振兴观光产业。 冬去春来，岛内期盼两岸交流“春暖花开”的呼声日渐高涨，普遍要求民进党当局别再以疫情为借口阻挡两岸交流，尽快撤除对两岸人员往来和交流合作设置的障碍。 耐人寻味的是，台当局交通主管部门负责人日前透露，今年的目标是600万人次旅客来台观光，“其中100万是陆客”。但问题是，台当局如何才能争取百万陆客放心、舒心赴台？ （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
