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.
党建评:反腐不停歇,永吹冲锋号****** 由中央纪委国家监委宣传部与中央广播电视总台联合摄制的四集电视专题片《永远吹冲锋号》于近期播出。该专题片分为四集,分别是《第二个答案》《政治监督》《铁规矩硬杠杠》《永远在路上》。这是党的二十大后首部反腐电视专题片。一经播出,多个相关案件的话题便迅速登上社交媒体,引发网络热议。 全国政协社会和法制委员会原副主任傅政华案、山东省人大常委会原党组成员、副主任张新起案、江西省政协原副主席肖毅案、文化和旅游部原党组副书记、副部长李金早案……一个个曾经“响极一时”的名字,其具体涉案细节和背后教训问题被全面还原、深入解剖。落马者奢靡享乐的严重违纪违法事实与镜头前的真诚忏悔反思对比强烈,《永远吹冲锋号》成为全体党员干部生动、深刻的警示教育课。 事实上,在《永远吹冲锋号》播出之前的一天,中央纪委国家监委网站还发布了2023年打“虎”第一棒的“战果”。山东省青岛市政协主席汲斌昌,国家烟草专卖局原党组成员、副局长何泽华,河北省人大常委会原副主任王雪峰接受中央纪委国家监委纪律审查和监察调查。线上专题片和线下的开年“打虎”相结合,“打虎拍蝇”就在身边的冲击感越来越强烈,这释放出一个鲜明信号:反腐败斗争一刻都不会停,永远吹冲锋号,全面从严治党将不断向纵深发展。 腐败是危害党的生命力和战斗力的最大毒瘤,反腐败是最彻底的自我革命。专题片《永远吹冲锋号》的四集内容所涉主题和案件尽管有所差异,披露的典型案例背后问题也不尽一致,但涉案者都有一个共同的问题:思想滑坡、认知退步、骨头“缺钙”,对党纪国法不够敬畏,对正风肃纪的认识不够清醒,放松了对自己和家人亲属的教育约束,最终酿成悲剧。而这,也指向了同一个严肃课题——反腐败斗争形势依然严峻,必须把正风肃纪反腐向纵深不断推进。 我们党是世界上最大的马克思主义执政党,必须时刻坚持惩治腐败、自我革命,实现自我净化,自我提升。党的十八大以来,党中央以前所未有的勇气和定力推进全面从严治党,以坚如磐石的意志正风肃纪反腐,找到了自我革命这一跳出治乱兴衰历史周期率的第二个答案。相关数据显示,10年来,全国纪检监察机关共立案464.8万余件,其中立案审查调查中管干部553人,处分厅局级干部2.5万多人、县处级干部18.2万多人。经过坚决斗争,反腐败斗争取得压倒性胜利并全面巩固,腐败存量得到有力削减、腐败增量得到有效遏制。 成绩的取得,背后是多方面进步的生动注脚。比如,坚持把党的政治建设摆在首位;不断完善党内法规体系和反腐败法律体系;又如,从源头上树起“红线”和“高压网”,加强对权力运行的制约和监督;再如,一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐等等。然而,也要清醒地看到,正风肃纪没有休止符。过去的经验已经表明,即使正风肃纪的规矩再硬、氛围再严,总会有个别胆大妄为、心怀不轨者,苦心钻营,与反腐败展开“周旋”,在物欲和利益诱惑下,说一套做一套。不过铁的事实也一再证明,那些自认为手段高明,能够瞒天过海者,最终都会以身试法,触网落马。 常怀“赶考”之心,勇于自我革命,这是百年大党不懈奋斗淬就的鲜明品格。党的二十大报告提出,坚决打赢反腐败斗争攻坚战持久战。专题片《永远吹冲锋号》是2014年《作风建设永远在路上》播出以来的第九部“反腐大片”,它忠诚记录了近10年来我们全面从严治党的前进脚步。新时代新征程,全面从严治党将不断向纵深推进,永远在路上;正风肃纪反腐将一刻不停,持续“打虎拍蝇”,让人民拥有踏实的获得感、幸福感、安全感。(林风) 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
